It all started with a dream…

Hayley always believed she was destined to be a performer. But like so many dancers, she struggled with the voice inside her head telling her she wasn’t good enough.
Not strong enough. Not skinny enough. Not pretty enough. Not talented enough. Not cut out for the industry.

It wasn’t until Hayley started training like an athlete — focusing on her strength, mindset, and self-worth — that everything changed.

She felt stronger, looked stronger. She danced with more power. She finally believed she really could do it.

This confidence led her to move overseas, with a “gut feeling” that if she did, she’d end up with her first cruise ship contract. Within 2 months she was offered Cast Dancer with Princess Cruises.

That shift sparked something bigger.

She wanted every dancer to know her secret to success.

Athletic Dance Company Was Born

Hayley created ADC to give dancers what she wished she had earlier in her career:

  • A coach who believed in her

  • Encouragement and guidance - a daily reminder that she can do this

  • Help learning to treat her body like an athlete, rather than being stuck in a constant loop of burn out and restrictive diets

Athletic Dance Company now helps dancers around the world train smarter, move better, and walk into every audition room with confidence.

🧭 What We Believe

At ADC, we believe dancers are athletes.
We also believe dancers are human. And both need to be supported.

That’s why we focus on more than just training.
We combine strength, mindset, nutrition, and career prep to help dancers feel strong in their body and in their identity — because that’s what creates longevity in this industry.

❤️ From Hayley

"I created this company because I didn’t want other dancers to feel alone like I did. You deserve to feel strong, capable, and confident in your career — and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. That’s why we’re here."
