We feel deeply blessed to be celebrating our 45th year at Briarwood Ballet!
Founded by Barbara Barker in 1980, Briarwood Ballet has been serving Briarwood Presbyterian Church and Birmingham, AL by offering quality instruction in classical ballet and dance education through a Christ-centered environment.
During Briarwood Ballet’s first year, Mrs. Barker taught around 45 students in a church nursery room. Since then we have grown enormously, with 5 beautiful dance studios and over 400 students enrolled this year. Our incredible faculty train our students to be creative, confident and excellent as they dance, but most importantly, they aim to instill in their students a desire to use their talents to glorify God.
This year, we celebrate…
45 years of excellent dance training.
45 years of discipleship through dance.
45 years of community.
45 years of sharing the Gospel through dance.
45 years of the Lord’s faithfulness.
45 years of Briarwood Ballet.
