About the provider

Joel Hall Dancers & Center was founded in 1974 and says it has spent 50+ years building spaces of diversity, access, equity, and inclusion. It says it awakens the dancer in everyone’s soul, highlights the Black and Brown and LGBTQIA+ experience, provides comprehensive dance education and artistic expression, and works to make dance accessible and affordable. Its youth and school programming includes in-school and virtual classes, field trip programs, assembly presentations, and extracurricular training for grades K-12.

Youth classes are currently on hiatus. The organization says classes are available in-person and online, and that no classes are held at the old Edgewater location (Clark/Ridge).
