Testimonial
My 13 -year -old daughter has been dancing at BNC for 8 years. We keep coming back year after year, when we know there are many other schools in this area to choose from. We love how personally invested Julia (the school director) and the other teachers are in the growth of each dancer, the sense of community among the families and staff, and the many opportunities the kids have to perform interesting, challenging choreography. Perhaps what is most exciting for my young dancer is how involved the incredible professional company is in the school and vice versa. One day she is taking class from her teacher, and the next she is watching him or her perform in one of Garrett Ammon’s breathtaking ballets. Then, of course, in Nutcracker students dance alongside the professionals! It is so inspirational.
