The American Dance Legacy Institute Adli.us is dedicated to enabling all individuals to participate, as primary collaborators, in the creation and perpetuation of America's dance heritage. The Institute fulfills its mission by developing interactive materials, including the unique Repertory EtudesTM, and by conducting a range of programs that emphasize hands-on experiences.
In 1999, the American Dance Legacy Institute, or Adli.us in collaboration with the SouthEast Center for Dance Education, received a consortium grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to begin compiling an anthology on the New Dance Group, which would include Repertory EtudesTM, documentaries, and curriculum guides. For the dance educators of the SouthEast Center for Dance Education who were faced with the task of developing lesson plans for the anthology the existing materials, which Adams and Strandberg had created, were pivotal. Dancing Through the Curriculum provided a model for the methodology, and most significantly, the Repertory EtudesTM provided dance educators with the equivalent of what science educators have always taken for granted in laboratories: kinesthetic material for exploration. Most adults, even those who have not pursued the sciences, can still remember the feel and odor of the lab as they weighed and dissected. Comparably deep tactile understanding is now a reality for current and former dance students.
To date, the Institute has completed 9 Repertory EtudesTM, 6 documentaries, and 3 research-based curricular guides, which have provided thousands of dancers internationally with unprecedented access to masterworks. Further, the Institute has developed codified methods that are used in programs: Repertory EtudeTM Workshops, Professional Development, and Workshops for All Populations. The Institute also hosts annual conferences and festivals. The Institute looks forward to continually expanding access for dancers, students, educators, scholars and the general public through the dissemination of its existing materials and programs, and the ongoing development of new ones.
