30 Dance Studios in the Birmingham Area

Shortly after my daughter took her first steps, she started dancing and hasn’t stopped! So, she began taking dance classes, which have helped her to improve her dance technique, gain confidence, and make amazing friends. We aren’t the only family who has noticed the benefits of dance, either! Studies show that dance improves motor skills, coordination, and flexibility, and it also boosts a child’s confidence, encourages creativity, and aids in the development of social skills. There are many amazing dance studios in the Birmingham area. We’ve put together a list of local studios that will encourage your little dancer and help him or her fall more in love with dance!

Maurine B
Maurine was born and raised in Montgomery, but now calls the Cahaba Heights region of Vestavia Hills home. She met her husband, Jacob, while attending medical school at the University of South Alabama. She then completed an Ob Gyn residency in Gainesville, FL before returning to Birmingham. After practicing medicine full time for 12 years, she transitioned to flexible hours with a pregnancy resource center. She loves having more time to be with her husband and two children, volunteer with local nonprofit organizations she is passionate about, work with the PTO at her daughter’s school, and serve at her church. When she is not with family, Maurine enjoys pilates, reading, and art, and she almost always has a project she is working on.
