The ADG serves as an umbrella for a host of activities dedicated to dance as an art form essential to the development of human potential. Formed in 1956, the Guild has reflected members' needs in sponsoring events for teachers, choreographers, and performers. Guild leaders have also been involved in the formation of other groups such as American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA), American College Dance Festival Association (ACDFA), Dance Critics Association (DCA), Congress on Research in Dance (CORD), and Society of Dance History Scholars (SDHS). Today the Guild has reciprocal collegial benefit arrangements with the aforementioned organizations as well as National Dance Association (NDA), Dance Notation Bureau (DNB), Florida Dance Association, and Sacred Dance Guild (SDG).
