Abstract:

The American College Dance Festival Association (ACDFA) "exists to support and affirm the role of dance in higher education primarily through the sponsorship of college/university regional conferences and national dance festivals." Begun as a a single regional conference held in Pittsburgh in 1973, the organization has expanded to include ten regional conferences and a bi-annual national conference traditionally held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. The collection contains videos, programs and photographs from both regional and national festivals featuring college level dance ensembles performing various styles of dance choreographed by professionals and students.
