Annual Giving


We are humbled, and so very thankful, to have such loyal and dedicated supporters as part of our broader collective family.

Art and human expression is at the heart of our humanity, and dance specifically can not only fill us with joy but put us firmly in the present moment.  

When dance permeates our lives, it fosters empathy, appreciation for diversity and truly bolsters our creative, emotional and physical health. With this power to have an enormous positive impact on society, we need likeminded visionaries like you. We can only continue to flourish and invigorate our audience, community and industry through the strength of our partnerships and the belief of our supporters. Your support creates impact – on both the landscape of dance and on the creative capability of future generations of movers and makers.  

We have big dreams for 2024 and beyond, and your generous contribution will enable us to continue to create, empower and inspire… collectively.  

ADC is a registered Australian charity – all gifts over $2 are tax deductible and enable the art that is to come.
