Santa Barbara Dance Institute

SBDI was founded in 2005 with the belief that the arts have a unique ability to inspire children to find excellence within.

We use dance as a vehicle to inspire children towards excellence. Through highly structured educational dance programs that engage the body, mind and spirit, we help children develop discipline, a standard of excellence, and a belief in themselves that will carry over into all aspects of their lives.

We engage children to do their best while teaching focus, concentration, teamwork and a deep seated belief in oneself. Through our unique teaching methodology and our professional shows, we capture children’s attention in new and stimulating ways that allow every child to experience a sense of belonging, achievement and personal success.
