Our Competiton Team Philosophy:  BMDA is a studio that does competitions, not a competition studio.  This is an important distinction.  Competing is not the main focus of our studio and we attend only 2-3 events per season.  

 

We believe competition is a learning tool, not a measure of a dancer's worth or talent. The competitive experience teaches dancers how to set goals and develop resilience, perseverance, and determination.  Our team consistently receives overall high point adjudications, choreography recognition, and special judges' awards but... we strive to instill the understanding that scores and trophies don't define a dancer or a studio.  And competition is never valued above the joy of dancing.

 

Our goal isn't to create dancers who believe they have to compete to be "good enough."

 

Our goal is to help each student build self esteem, discover their ability to achieve, and learn to dream big.  

 

Competition with perspective.

Training with purpose.

Dancing for the love of it.

 

*Team placement is by invitation, based on a dancer's readiness, commitment, skill development, and desire to take on the additional challenges of competitive dance. As dancers grow, we may invite them to explore this next step when we feel they're ready.*
