Children's Dance Foundation's Community Partnership Program provides dance classes to more than 1,500 children each week at more than 25 social service agencies, child development centers and schools in Birmingham.CDF’s vision is grounded by a commitment to empower all children through dance. CDF embraces this important work with the disenfranchised and underserved, providing classes to organizations that serve these students regardless of their ability to pay.All of our classes are participatory and meet at program sites for a considerable length of time – most receive our classes all year. More than 50% of all our partner sites do not pay any fee for our classes and must be fully sponsored by Children’s Dance Foundation through contributions and grant awards. The other half of our partner sites pay a portion to CDF toward the actual cost of services they receive. The balance of the cost must then be secured by grants and contributions.Of the dozens of partner sites that CDF serves each year:* 1/3 serve special needs, at-risk or disadvantaged children* 3/4 serve pre-kindergarten childrenAll children are in need of the same things: a positive, consistent, nurturing and creative experience. Our dance classes provide just that in addition to being a healthy, physical, participatory activity.www.childrensdancefoundation.org
