VISION

​

INSPIRING PASSION, DEVELOPING TALENT

​

We believe dance is for everyone, no matter the skill level or body type. As such, we strive to offer a positive, challenging and structured environment where great values are taught and blossoming talent is developed.

 

PHILOSOPHY

​

We believe that dance training encourages young people to develop a positive self-image as they increase awareness of their physical capabilities. Along with improving coordination skills and developing muscular awareness, dance gives children the freedom to express themselves through movement.  We are dedicated to our students and the BDC philosophy.  At BDC, we believe performance arts are for every student, whether recreational or competitive.  We strive to make our students, young and old, beginner to advanced, feel special and important.

Whether your child wants to master dance for fun, train competitively, or pursue a professional dance career, our programs offer top-notch training across all genres. As a leading Knoxville dance school, we help competitive dance students build successful careers in the performing arts and give all students the discipline, creativity, and passion that set them up for lifelong success.

 

We started from humble beginnings in a small single rooms studio.  After just one season we moved to our current location. We now have five dance studios, in house boutique, a costume shop, a prop room, and much more.  All of our dance studios have Marley sprung floors and are equip with ballet barres.  

 

At BDC we welcome all students, and feel that each dancer can find the proper fit for them within our studio.  Our various programs allow each student to find the commitment level that is right for them, while still learning and growing as a dancer.  BDC prides itself on having a qualified faculty that provides excellent training, while creating a family atmosphere.
