The Academy of Dance on Film The Academy of Dance on Film is the nation's only arts organization dedicated to the preservation, documentation and advancement of filmed dance. Much of the history of world culture, fashion and social changes and the sheer exhilaration of movement has been captured by the camera since its birth. With excellent libraries documenting classical, modern and ethnic dance around the world, it was the goal of the Academy of Dance on Film to preserve and share commercial dance and movement.
To share this unique American cultural art, ADF also focuses on education. To date, various lectures on Dance in Film have been given to "Lifelong Learning" programs, Universities and for young people in the Los Angeles Unified School District. ADF has also begun its "Oral History" videotaping program capturing the story of commercial dance with choreographers such as Bob Sidney and dancers such as Barbara Perry - whose mother operated the legendary Perry's Rehearsal Studios in Hollywood during its "Golden Age."

According to a recent study, three out of four Americans experience a serious foot problem at least once in their lifetime. Unfortunately, most of these "suffering soles" have not had access to the wealth of information available about the causes, prevention and treatment for common foot problems and/or discomfort. All that changes now thanks to the launch of Foot.com ­ “The World’s Most Comprehensive Foot Health Site”. Foot.com will totally change the way people think about their feet.

DANCE IN AMERICA presents "Free To Dance" a three-part documentary that chronicles the crucial role that African-American choreographers and dancers have played in the development of modern dance as an American art form. Tracing this phenomenon against the backdrop of America's social, political, and cultural landscape, the series captures the struggle for artistic freedom and spotlights the genius created by cultural synergy. "Without the African contribution, we would not have had American dance as we know it," says author Katrina Hazzard Donald. "Free To Dance" is a co-production of the American Dance Festival (ADF) and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in association with Thirteen/WNET New York. Madison Davis Lacy is the series producer and director, and Charles L. and Stephanie Reinhart are the executive producers.
