"Working as an intern at the American Dance Festival quickly came to mean more to me than doing my work everyday, attending dance classes with incredible teachers, or watching world-class dance performances. It became about being a part of a fun, dedicated community who was working together to ensure the success of this great festival. You're more than just "the intern" at ADF; you're a valued, contributing member of the team. It is for this reason that I left Durham at the end of the summer having learned more and having had experienced more than I could have ever anticipated before coming. I would do it all again in a second!" –Allison Cohan, 2009 Development In
