Our daughter has danced at BPAC since 2003. It is her second home, and the talented, caring instructors have helped her shine! The studio stresses technique and grace over glitzy showmanship ... all while encouraging camaraderie and fun.

Truly one of the best decisions of my life to come to Bpac. It has always felt like a second home and a place where I could come and be myself. The teachers are fabulous and work super hard and truly care and love all the students. I’ve been dancing at BPAC since second grade and I have improved so much since starting here! There is no other place like BPAC.

A wonderful dance studio with experienced staff! For several decades this studio has put on local productions of The Nutcracker and other classics. This is a fun and heartwarming place for you to learn proper technique, and enjoy the creativity and self expression of dance!

We love this studio...it’s like our second family! The instructors are wonderful, patient and caring.

For a studio known for its technical excellence, they are surprisingly down to earth. My daughter feels at “home” when she’s there. And again, she has a blast with her friends and instructors there, but she’s becoming incredibly proficient in all the forms (including jazz and tap). Very wholesome family atmosphere
