Netherlands-Based Non-Profit Contemporary Dance Foundation
Anderson Carvalho Dance & Choreography Foundation (ACDC) is a creative and educational dance foundation dedicated to the art of movement, choreography, performance, and the development of dancers of all backgrounds and abilities.
Founded from a deep passion for dance and a belief in its transformative power, ACDC exists to create an environment where people can learn, express, grow, connect, and perform through dance.
At the heart of ACDC is Anderson Carvalho, whose passion for dance and choreography inspires a vision that goes beyond learning steps. Dance is a language, a way to communicate emotions, tell stories, build confidence, and bring people together. Through dedicated training and creative exploration, ACDC encourages every dancer to discover their own voice and develop their unique identity through movement.
