The Valentina Oumansky Dramatic Dance Foundation, (VODDF) established in 1973 as a non-profit 510c(3) organization, serves the Southern California community in Dramatic Dance arts education and entertainment. 

The activities and projects developed and supported by the foundation are those that fall into the realm of communicative humanistic dance theatre.

The VODDF is the umbrella organization for the Dramatic Dance Workshop and Dramatic Dance Ensemble.  It is a heaven for students and professionals in search of unique non-commercial theatrical dance.  The foundation's hub, the Studio theatre (formerly the home of the mother of American modern dance, Ruth St. Denis) is officially a historical cultural landmark of Los Angeles as it is the longest, continuous dance space in Southern California.
