Sensitive to shifting priorities and new opportunities within the community, The Dancing School
continues to operate in the heart of "old town" Selma where it's roots began. It continues to
support the efforts of the City of Selma in preserving the heritage of the city. The Dancing
School is active in the community and performs at many civic functions. It has supported other
civic performing groups within the community, most notably The Raisin Cain Players which it has
worked jointly with for the past 20 years in presenting live theatre presentations for the Selma
and surrouding communities.
The Dancing School has operated in it's current facility at 2015 Second Street for the past 25 years.
Prior to acquiring it's current facility, the school was located in the old Odd Fellows Hall on Tucker Street.
During this time The Dancing School has taught four generations of valley residents. The school draws
students from a geographic area of Madera to the north, Kingsburg to the south, Stratford to the west and
Reedley to the east.
