Welcome to Santa Barbara Dance Institute (SBDI)!  

SBDI was founded in 2005 with the belief that the arts have a special ability to inspire children to find excellence within themselves.  The purpose and mission of SBDI programs is to help children develop discipline, a standard of excellence, and a belief in themselves that will carry over into all aspects of their lives.  SBDI’s goal is to offer educational dance programs that help children discover their potential by motivating them  to believe in themselves, value artistic expression, and develop a personal standard of excellence.
