·         Bonnie Hotman has begun to lead Tyler into the next phase of excellence.   Proud founder of Artistic Dance Concepts, Bonnie comes to us while continuing to study in Dallas, New York, and Los Angeles.  Bonnie spent the summer of '06 in Italy, where she had auditioned for a professional dance program and was accepted to represent the United States for the International Dance Meeting.  While in Italy she studied under professional choreographers including Wes Veldink, Mandy Moore, Michelle Asaaf, Terry Beaman, H. Young Woo, Kledi Kadiu, and Andy Blankenbeuhler (to name a few).  Along with training under these instructors, she performed their works along with many other dancers from all over the world.  This was an opportunity of a life time and such an honor to be accepted into such a prestigious and accredited dance program.  

Bonnie has led her students to winning results. Choreography awards, scholarships, Best of Show, Judges Choice Awards, and High Cash awards are just a few of the works Bonnie has produced.   Also, 100% of ADC’s students have made drill team  and cheer that tried out.   Along with this she continues taking her company members on annual trips to New York and Los Angeles to study and train.   As a former member of a professional modern company, Bonnie has shared the stage with many other incredible professionals who have paved the new way for dance today!

With a passion for dance that she was born with and over 20 years experience, Bonnie strives to instill not only proper technique, and a dance education that will take her dancers any where they choose, but also a sense of self-respect, confidence, team work, and respect for fellow dancers, to every student. "You've got to dance as if EVERYONE'S watching!"

"Dance is an art in which the stage is our canvas and the body is our paintbrush. It is always changing, and is always beautiful. It allows us to use every emotion and speak with an audience to make them feel what the movement is saying. Dance builds confidence, teaches self-discipline, and shows us how to respect one another and the art."
