“On the weekend of September 6th through September 9th, 2012 the American Dance Guild , a veteran supporter of American dance since 1956, served up a feast of contemporary dance.” - The Dance Enthusiast/ Veronica Hackethal

“If you’ve never been to an American Dance Guild Festival performance, know that variety and quality are the names of the game. One can experience 20th century historical gems, set alongside contemporary pieces and emerging solo talents, followed by vibrant dance companies. The presiding feeling governing all performances is one of togetherness and community.” - The Dance Enthusiast/ Christine Jowers

“The performance festival of the American Dance Guild usually honors two dance luminaries a year, one living, one dead. This year, however, both of the honorees — the choreographers Elaine Summers and Dianne McIntyre — are very much alive. And if the performances at the Ailey Citigroup Theater on Thursday weren’t the strongest arguments for the enduring merit of their art, the spirit of happy vitality was just right. - The New York Times/ Brian Seibert
