American Dance Festival vs. Bates Dance Festival?

Any of your dancers have experience with either of these programs? Researching summer intensives with a focus on modern dance.

Never did those ones but you can look at Mark Morris, Skidmore and Cornish as well. They all have summer programs. Mark Morris has a winter intensive as well.

I know several dancers who had positive experiences at Bates.

might be too late to weigh in, but my daughter did ADF, loved it. Great variety of choices, some really stellar teachers, overall great experience. Plus, learned a lot that helped her guide future school decisions.
