Greetings!

I trust everyone is having a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing you soon. Our August schedule is a bit abbreviated and our adult summer classes continue through September 7th (Mondays-Wednesdays).

Meanwhile, the ATDF staff is busy putting together our upcoming Youth and Adult Year-Round Schedules which will kick off on Monday, September 12th and then continue through June of 2017.

Be sure to check our website mid-August for a detailed schedule.

Just a reminder, we have a Tap Camp coming up August 15-19 and we still have a few opening slots available.

And please note, that Brenda Bufalino will be conducting a special 4 Week Workshop that will start September 14th!

Finally, if you have any questions concerning schedule, scholarships, TCYE auditions or registration, feel free to contact us at (646) 230-9564 or email info@atdf.org

Onward & upwards!
