Atlantic Dance Theatre

About Us

ATLANTIC DANCE THEATRE Our goal is to present, support, and enrich dance offerings in the region. From 1985-2008 Atlantic Dance Theatre, a nonprofit organization based in New Bern, NC, presented professional dance and music performances, school programs, and masterclasses in North and South Carolina. In 2018, former board members Elizabeth Pope, Joan Taylor, and Paige Whitley-Bauguess decided to bring ADT's professional dance events back to the community beginning with a March 2019 music and Baroque dance concert "Belle Danse,” performed at New Bern's Stanly Hall ballroom. This season's offerings include a March 28, 2020 concert "Bach and Forward" as well as public school informal performances. Elizabeth Pope is serving as Executive Director for administration with Artistic Advisors Kimberly Craigie-Blonn, David Blonn, and Paige Whitley-Bauguess. 2020-2021 BOARD OF DIRECTORS include Adia Coleman, Ann Dale, Chuck Dale, Kit Jordan, Elizabeth Pope, Joan Taylor, and Paige Whitley-Bauguess.
