Darby’s Dancers is a 501(c)(3) organization founded by the parents of Darby Jones of Huntsville, Alabama. Darby’s Dancers provides an opportunity for children with special needs to participate in the performing arts through dance education.
At once-a-week classes, Darby’s Dancers learn all types of dance in a fun, encouraging atmosphere. Dancers in the program gain confidence, coordination, strength and lifelong friends, all while feeling like a star. Darby’s Dancers also provides volunteer opportunities for teens. Our youth volunteers learn important lessons in responsibility and friendship by providing one-on-one assistance to each of Darby’s dancers.
Darby’s Dancers classes are taught by volunteer dance instructors and take place in donated studio space. The charitable contributions of youth volunteers, dance instructors, community dance studios and local businesses allow Darby’s Dancers to provide dance classes, supplies and costumes to dancers with special needs at no cost to their parents.
Classes are held weekly and schedules will be determined once registrations have been received. The program is available to dancers ages 6 and up and will be on a first come first serve basis! The program starts in November and runs through the school year, ending with a performance in our year-end Recital in late May or early June!
Acceptance into the Darby’s program is first come-first serve and based on class schedules, teachers, and the quantity of assistants we have.
Registration is full for our 2024-2025 season! We would love to add you to our waiting list- please email us at office@premieredanceacademy.com if interested!
