Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

How many students qualify as a group?
A group is six or more students traveling together, taking a minimum of 10 classes combined, and purchasing their classes at the same time.

Do we have to register our group before we arrive?
We highly recommend pre-registration to ensure that your dancers can take their preferred classes. Unannounced groups may be difficult to accommodate and may not be eligible for discounted group rates. Our Group Services Director is available to discuss and customize your visit to BDC, and remove any stress from planning your group’s dance training.

Do we have to choose the classes we are going to take before we arrive?
This is best, yes! In order to accommodate your requests, we ask that you contact the Group Services director at least 24 hours prior to your arrival.

How do we know what classes to take?
Our staff is happy to assist you in organizing your students’ schedules so that they are placed in classes best suited to their individual needs.

How old do you have to be to take open class at BDC?
Students must be at least 13 years old to participate in the majority of classes at BDC. Certain teachers may permit younger students, but permission must be arranged in advance through Group Services. If you are traveling with younger dancers, why not consider a private class?

Can my students take their classes together?
Our staff will do their best to accommodate you, however, this is dependent upon the size of your group and the classes you request. We feel strongly that your dancers will flourish if encouraged to take classes separately.

Can parents and chaperones observe the classes?
Yes! We welcome class observation. Our studios have large viewing windows and plenty of space to get comfortable.

What is the best time of year for me to bring my students?
Groups are welcome year-round. Our busiest season is during the summer months, so visits during this time should be planned well in advance.
