Bonnie Hotman - Pehl

Bonnie Hotman Pehl was born to dance! She began dancing at the age of two & told her mom then that she

wanted to grow up & become a dance instructor. In June of 2004, her dream came true when she opened the

love of her life, ADC! With over 30 years of training herself, Bonnie continues the lifelong pursuit of dancing.

She continues to push herself as a person, dancer, choreographer, and artist. She teaches her students that

they can always reach a little higher than before, & puts her own words of advice to work in her life as well.

That is why ADC will continue to grow & advance for years to come!

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. Along with this, she

takes her company members on an annual trips to New York to study and train.

Bonnie was lucky enough to have spent a summer in Italy where she had been accepted to be a part of the

International Dance Meeting where she studied, trained, & performed with the world’s most renowned

choreographers, artists, & dancers. Bonnie has shared the stage with many other incredible professionals

who have paved the new way for dance today.

Several years ago, she started THE Collective, a professional company, committed to giving back to the

community. In the first year alone THE Collective helped raise over $20,000! This is what eventually lead her to

want to partner with the Junior League of Tyler. In their first year alone, the ADC PAC & JL raised over 20K!

She is excited to continue to break boundaries with her & her amazing staff's innovative choreography.

With a passion for dance that she was born with and over 30 years experience, Bonnie strives to instill not

only proper technique, & a dance education that will take her dancers anywhere 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!”
