Dance is a joyful, transforming experience for students of all ages, abilities, and circumstances. The Dance Foundation embodies this belief with programs in our Downtown Homewood facility and beyond. Your support helps provide dance classes to children in social service agencies and schools throughout Birmingham, tuition-assistance to students in our Studio Program who are in need, and affordable studio and performance space for artists and organizations who need a place to call home. The Dance Foundation, a nonprofit organization, has been a gathering place for learning with and through dance for more than 40 years.
