ABOUT US

Founded in 1995 by Susan Gordon, President of Algy Costumes and Designs, American Dance Alliance (ADA) began as an auxiliary summer camp where band directors could bring their teams to learn new choreography and leadership skills. After five successful years, Susan passed the company on to Rosanna Karpiak, a Miami-native and respected dance educator, who expanded ADA to encompass leadership intensives, dance camps, and competitions where dancers could showcase their talents.

By 2001, ADA had become a premier dance authority in Florida—hosting camps in Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, while producing regional and state competitions from Melbourne to Miami. Teachers, coaches, and directors from across the state came to experience ADA’s exceptional staff, diverse choreography, and professional opportunities.

In 2015, ADA entered a new era under the leadership of Arianne Limongi, Natalia Gonzalez, and Jimmy Arguello, who elevated the company’s standards and presence within the competitive dance community. In 2022, Jimmy parted ways to pursue his own dance journey, and we remain grateful for his contributions to ADA’s growth.

Now entering the 2025–2026 season, ADA proudly stands as a family-owned, women-led business. Today, we continue to provide individualized attention, prestigious competition venues, and innovative choreography from seasoned professionals. Above all, we remain dedicated to delivering the very best in customer service, dancer experience, and community culture—inspiring the next generation and cultivating a lifelong love for the arts.
