    It is never too young to start dancing!

    Dancing helps your child develop many important social skills, enhances physical development, and promotes musicality and cognitive skills. Placing your 2 or 3 year old in a dance class with us will allow them to establish better thinking early on. This age range is a great time to expose a child to dancing in a nurturing classroom environment.

    

    BDT’s Dance Masters Certified teachers implement years of training experience to offer a variety of dance curriculum to your young mover. Dance has been proven to play a significant role in children’s early development. Class consists of Creative Movement, Pre-Ballet & Tap.

    Since 1962, Birmingham Dance Theatre has been devoted to properly training aspiring individuals of all ages to excel in each genre of dance. Our purpose is to nurture, educate, guide, and encourage all students to develop their personal best

    My daughter has taken at Birmingham Dance Theatre going on 3 years. BDT has provided her with the highest quality dance training available in the Birmingham area with a heavy focus on mastering technique and dance terminology. Discipline, self confidence and teamwork are a constant focus during class which help prepare students for everyday life challenges. I highly recommend BDT to anyone looking for a healthy environment of proper dance training.

    The teachers are AMAZING!!! They instill in each of their students a love for dance and nurture it throughout the year. My three girls have not only learned movement, but the teachers also focus on the education of the terminology of what they are being taught. I am forever grateful to the teachers at Birmingham Dance Theater for pouring their hearts into my kids and for inspiring them by their example.
