Since 1973, over 70,000 school children have seen ADC ballet company productions as part of the ADC Partners in the Arts funding program. Former company members are now dancing or teaching throughout the world. Many students have secured dance degrees from prominent universities including Butler University, Iowa State University, Northern Illinois University and Colorado State University. The ADC has received Congressional recognition Awards and artistic honors from the Illinois Arts Council and Office of the Governor.

Summer workshop classes are offered for all ages and ability levels. Master teachers are also commissioned for advanced classes. Dancers attend a national convention in Chicago. Upper levels compete in ballet, tap, jazz and hip-hop. The ADC placed first in 5 categories and won overall large group senior division in 2004.
