Dirt is a mixture of dead plant, bits of rock, and microorganisms. Only the microorganisms are alive.
If you count all the things that live in soil (or dirt as you called it), then yes it is. Even a very small amount of soil has millions of microscopic fungi, animals and plants living in it. Soil also breathes, that is, it takes in oxygen from the air and releases carbon dioxide from the living things that are inside of it.
If you discount all the things that live inside the soil then it is not alive. The minerals that make up soil or dirt are not alive. Most soils in the world are made up of silicon, iron, calcium, and different amounts of different types of pulverized rock depending on how the soil formed and what its parent material or bedrock is. Those aspects of soil are not alive.
