Performance Companies

ARTS IN MOTION (AIM)

Broadway Dance Center’s youth training and performance company, Arts in Motion (AIM), is designed for elite students who exhibit excellence in talent, versatility, discipline, and professionalism.

Company members perform 3 routines—in various styles—at several events throughout the season, and are selected by a panel at our multi-disciplinary audition.

AIM members are selected based on performance ability, technical skill, leadership, and the demonstrated desire to perfect their craft. Our primary goal is to expose these dancers to all facets of the dance industry through weekly master classes, seminars, rehearsals, and conventions to lay the foundation for helping them create sustainable careers in professional/commercial dance.

AIM dancers work with esteemed choreographers and perform works that are showcased throughout New York City. Past performances include: The Pulse on Tour, Fleet Week for Pastry Shoes, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, Britney Spears’ perfume launch, The Today Show, the Young Choreographers Festival, the BDC Student Showcase, Project Dance NYC, Heart & Feet Benefit, Friends for Japan Benefit, the Dr. Oz Show, M.O.V.E for Autism, and countless others!
