Jennie Robertson recognized the value and importan

Jennie Robertson recognized the value and importance of live music when she founded The Dance Foundation in the early 70s. And we can’t think of anything more exciting and beautiful than the interaction between the teacher, the musician and the dancer as they create art together. .

"Years ago when I first stumbled upon The Dance Fo

"Years ago when I first stumbled upon The Dance Foundation, I was looking for a movement class for my 2.5 year old. At that time, I thought I had struck gold, but in time I learned that I had actually discovered a gem of a space exponentially more valuable. And five years and a second child later, it remains one of the highlights of my children’s lives and one of the organizations I am most proud to support." - Jennifer Egbe, The Dance Foundation Board President 2021 . Jennifer Egbe and our entire board of directors provide invaluable leadership, support, advocacy, and fiduciary oversight to further our mission. .

That is why we teach dance. Not because we expect

That is why we teach dance. Not because we expect you to major in dance. Not because we expect you to dance or choreograph all your life... But so you will be human. So you will recognize beauty. So you will have more love, more compassion, more gentleness, more good - in short, more life. .

Discover something new in your approach to dancing

We’ve got NEW and clearance items in our shop!

Rhea Speights will be joining us as guest artist o

Rhea Speights will be joining us as guest artist on Saturdays in September to lead Somatic Approaches to Contemporary Dance. All adult dancers and movers are invited! Specifically, class will begin with improvisational explorations of imagery. Through this practice, we warm up the body and its connection to the imagination. We will give our attention to the nuance and particularities of our individual bodies as we explore a variety of energetic states. Concepts from the warm-up will be carried through a series of choreographed dance phrases that build into a longer phrase. We will challenge ourselves to discover something new in our approach to dancing, guided by our curiosity and our pleasure and joy. . Rhea Speights is an artist and teacher, specializing in dance and video. Her dance practice is informed by her studies and collaborations with Jennifer Monson, Jessie Young, Jesse Bie, Jess Pretty, Jenna Valez, and many others (even more whose names start with J). She has taught and presented her work across the United States and with Jenny Angélica Soledad in Bogotá, Colombia. Rhea holds an MFA in dance from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a BA from the University of Alabama. She co-directed SynArts in Tuscaloosa from 2006-08 and was artistic director of Sanspointe in Birmingham from 2011-13. During that time, she taught at the University of Alabama, The Dance Foundation, and Birmingham-Southern College. . September 11, 18, 25 / 10:30-12:00 . $15/class in advance; $18 at the door
