Performance Team
The BDC Performance Team is our recreational dance program for ages 7 and up. Our Performance Team gives dancers the opportunity to enrich their dance education with the experience of participating in one regional dance competition in addition to an annual recital. Many members of our team also participate in community performances and musical theater experiences.
What are the benefits of competition?
Dance competitions enhance the dance experience by giving students an additional performance and growth opportunity. They are provided feedback from working professionals in the dance industry that offers insight to what dancers are doing well and also how the dancer can improve further. Students get an opportunity to meet other dancers and experience new styles of dance, choreography and performances outside of their own studio. Lastly, the competition experience provides an opportunity for dancers to grow their team building skills and helps to create lifelong friendships.
