The Dance Foundation in Homewood, in operation for 50 years and counting, is a not-for-profit organization bringing the joy of dance to students throughout the Greater Birmingham area through the following programs:
Studio Classes
Our classes inspire dancers of all ages and abilities, meeting each one where they are and encouraging lifelong exploration and study of dance. Our creative and welcoming approach to teaching dance honors the art form as well as the individual — inspiring joy, confidence and community. Since The Dance Foundation was founded in 1975, live music has been an essential component to classes for young children through first grade. Spring performances for students ages 3 to 18 are held at the Alabama Theatre in May, featuring live piano accompaniment for classes through second grade. Everyone is invited to our performances, and admission is free.
Dance Partners
The Dance Foundation takes dance into schools and community organizations to engage and impact students who are very young, have disabilities or learning differences or need academic support.
Space Rental
We make much-needed studio space available for artists to teach, rehearse and perform, reaching their own constituents with the benefits of dance. Our state-of-the-art facility is located in downtown Homewood and includes five studios, each with two-way glass observation areas.
