BDC’s Performance Company (4th-6th grades only) is a group of passionate and committed dancers who participate in local performance opportunities as well as in the BDC Recital. Performance Company dancers learn extra choreography and participate in special performances. They will attend one convention as well as other master classes/workshops. Performance Company focuses on the development of the dancers’ technical skills and performance quality and is designed for dancers who are looking to reach beyond their Core Classes and dedicate more time and effort to dance.
