ABOUT DALLAS BLACK DANCE ACADEMY
Founded in 1973 by Ann M. Williams, Dallas Black Dance Academy is the official school of Dallas Black Dance Theatre.
We believe dance does more than teach technique—it develops discipline, confidence and life skills that extend far beyond the studio.

Ages 2-3: Parent & Me
