As we celebrate 50 years of building community through dance, we’re proud of the meaningful connections that shaped our journey. One of those? A touching bond made through a shared teaching philosophy with Eugenia Lanaux in Fairhope, AL. Two generations later, her inspiring connection with TDF remains.

Cooling down after a creative and energetic dance class with the the campers at Use Your Noodle, a summer program at Avondale Samaritan Place where we teach our “Dancing With Words” curriculum.

Exciting things happening! 🦺 We’d like to give you a heads-up that the building will undergo renovations throughout the month of July. 🚧 As part of this process, all carpeting will be removed and temporary walkways will be installed to maintain accessibility.
We’re excited about these improvements and appreciate your patience during this time. The renovations are scheduled to be completed before the start of the fall class season. ✨

A special thank you to the Joseph S. Bruno Charitable Foundation for supporting arts education for 1000+ students in the Birmingham community each week.
Your support moves us! 💜🌟
