Atlantic Dance Theatre is a community-focused dance organization in New Bern, North Carolina, dedicated to expanding access to dance in Eastern North Carolina through education, community connection, and public performance. Revived in 2018, it works to enrich local cultural life by creating dance opportunities for children and the broader community. Its programming has included school-based instruction, such as a West African Dance Workshop reaching students in Craven and Jones counties, as well as community performance groups that have appeared at Tryon Palace events. The organization centers dance as both an art form and an educational pathway, especially for young people who benefit from learning through movement.
