Our reach goes much farther than our physical location. Since our founding, we’ve worked with local non-profits, schools, and other organizations to bring dance to people of all ages in the Greater Birmingham area. Today, we touch the lives of more than 15,000 individuals.
Our four studios and 100-seat theatre are available to community artists and organizations in Birmingham who need comfortable, affordable, and professional studio space for classes, workshops, rehearsals, special events, and performances.
Dance empowers people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. See how The Dance Foundation has impacted our community, and share your own story.
