About The Dance Hub

The Dance Hub, located in Santa Barbara, California, is a vibrant non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a lifelong love and enjoyment of dance for enthusiasts of all ages and levels. Founded in 2017 by Carrie Diamond and Eric Valinsky, who also established Ballet Santa Barbara in 2005, The Dance Hub emerged from a vision to create an affordable, community-focused dance space. American Dance & Music, Inc. is the non-profit organization instrumental in its development. The studio offers professionally equipped spaces designed to minimize injury and enhance the dance experience, featuring a state-of-the-art floating floor in its Main Studio and a versatile surface in the Victoria Street Studio. Programming is diverse, encompassing Ballet, Modern, Jazz, conditioning, Pilates, Nia, theater arts, Afro-Brazilian dance, and Polynesian dance, offered by AD&M, affiliates, and renters. The Dance Hub Youth Ballet, under the guidance of Youth Ballet Director Aimee Lopez (trained in Royal Academy of Dance and Cecchetti syllabi), provides classical ballet instruction. Opportunities for performance exist through The Dance Hub Performance Group. The studio frequently hosts specialized workshops and intensive programs, such as "Pop-up Ballet Variation Class with Katie Brady" and "A Ballet Weekend with Jonette Swider," often featuring instructors with extensive training from prestigious ballet schools. Special events like "Up Close at The Dance Hub" showcase local choreographers and diverse ensembles. The Dance Hub is committed to accessibility, offering affordable teaching and performance space, alongside tuition subsidies for children and adults, fostering a supportive environment for artistic growth and expression within the Santa Barbara community.
