About Us

The Alabama Dance Theatre was founded in 1986 by Kitty Seale, Artistic Director. We are located in Alabama's "Capital of Dreams" at the Armory Learning Arts Center on Madison Avenue. ADT is an award winning, regional ballet company with an eclectic repertoire that includes 19th century classics as well as new modern and contemporary works. The company emphasizes serious training for the pre-professional dancer. The training foundation is classical ballet drawing strongly from the Russian Syllabus.

Our regional company started out in 1986 with six advanced dancers who were committed to creating a new community space for dance and bringing quality performances to central Alabama. In the past 31 years the company has grown to include 34 company dancers and over 150 students in our school. 

​In addition to its public performances ADT hosts a number of educational activities in the community which serve ​to build our audience and enhance the cultural life of our city.
