From the reviews
Where do I begin…. BDT is the Best in the Birmingham Metro area!!!!! My daughter is starting her 8th year at the studio and I cannot recommend them enough! The staff, instructors, and students are all TOP notch! They foster a loving, encouraging, and creative environment that you cannot find anywhere else!
My daughter has been going to BDT since she was only 2 years old. The staff and instructors are simply amazing and very, very, very patient with the kiddos. The productions put on by all the dancers, the fun themed weeks, and the professionalism makes this a serendipitous dance studio to take your inspiring dancers to…
This is my daughter’s fourth year at BDT and she absolutely loves it! I grew up dancing there & I couldn't imagine sending her anywhere else. They have a very friendly office staff & teachers, too. Best dance studio in Birmingham!
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.
Your first ballet class at Birmingham Dance Theatre
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
