A Home Away From Home - BC Dance is So Much More Than Just a Studio If you're searching for more than just a place to dance -- if you're looking for a second family, a space where your child can truly grow not only as a dancer but as a person -- then look no further than BC Dance. This studio is a gem in every sense of the word, and our experience here has been nothing short of life-changing. From the very first class, it's evident that BC Dance is built on a foundation of love, encouragement, and passion. The instructors are not just technically skilled; they are deeply invested in every dancer's journey. They teach with kindness, patience, and an unwavering belief in their students. Whether you're a beginner walking into your first class or an advanced dancer preparing for competition, you're treated with the same level of respect, dedication, and care. What truly sets BC Dance apart is its incredible sense of community. This is a place where meaningful friendships are not only formed -- they flourish. The camaraderie among the dancers is heartwarming. There's no sense of unhealthy competition here; instead, students support one another, cheer each other on, and celebrate each other's victories as if they were their own. As a parent, it's amazing to watch my child walk into class with a smile, excited to see friends who feel like siblings and teachers who feel like mentors. The environment at BC Dance is one where dancers are empowered to be themselves, express freely through movement, and grow in confidence. Over time, we've seen our dancer become more poised, more resilient, and more self-assured -- both in and out of the studio. The life lessons taught here -- discipline, teamwork, perseverance, humility -- extend far beyond the dance floor. There's a beautiful balance at BC Dance between striving for excellence and nurturing the joy of dancing. It's not just about trophies or perfecting technique (although those come too!) -- it's about building character, finding your voice, and being part of something truly special. In short, BC Dance is a safe, inspiring, and loving space that any dancer would be lucky to be part of. It has helped our dancer flourish in ways we never imagined, and we are endlessly grateful for the lifelong friendships and beautiful memories we've made here. If you're considering a dance studio where your child will be seen, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are, BC Dance is the place to be. read more

I can honestly not say enough wonderful things about BC Dance and what this studio has done for my daughter. She did not start in life as a natural dancer and struggled with basic rhythm & coordination, but she loved the art of dance and it was her passion. We had tried other studios before BC, and were told she was not good enough. BC was our last chance of making her dream come true. We met the staff and she auditioned. Cory the Director offered immediately to give her a chance, he said, "how else can she be great if we do not give her the opportunity?" 5 years later we are so thankful he took a chance on her and the entire staff really worked not only to build her dance skills, but also her self confidence. BC Dance is a special place where every child has a spot no matter what they look like or skill level is. The families at BC embrace each new dancer with open arms, as the students do too. We love and cheer for all our amazing kids, and have a BC Dance family that is truly a gift. My little girl, now 12 has reached goals she never thought was possible and now is amazing and inspiring little dancer all because someone took a chance on her. Cory and Alfredo have developed an incredible program where all children are welcomed and encouraged to grow in the Arts. There is nothing more fulfilling as a parent than to see your child grow and thrive and that is what BC dance has done for our family. read more

Our family has been a part of BC Dance for nearly 5 years and my two daughters absolutely adore the studio! It has literally become a deeply important part of our family! We are involved in the competition team, BC Academics school, and the pre-professional program. We had previously been to other studios and both my daughters say that BC Dance is the best instruction they have ever had! The teachers are committed and the training is exceptional! Both my girls have said the memories they have made at BC Dance are the happiest they have ever had - from NYCDA nationals in NYC to participating in the Disneyland parade to the YAGP ballet experience. Our recitals are absolutely exceptional, especially in ballet. The friendships and comradery among the parents and teachers have also been a very impactful part of our experience at the studio. The dancers are expected to be committed, punctual, and work hard but with that expectation has come so much reward... my girls have developed a strong work ethic, time management skills, responsibility, and a meaningful teamwork connection because of their experiences at BC Dance! Not to mention lifelong friendships! We adore Mr. Cory and the beautiful artistry of dance that he creates at BC Dance! read more

I can't say enough about this amazing studio! I have 2 daughters who both dance on the BC Dance company and their experience has been exceptional. They have prepared my oldest for college dance auditions and programs. Which is no small feat when she entered with minimal training 5 years ago. Cory brings in high level master dance faculty and workshops to expose the kids to the expectations for the professional world. He has an exceptional resume and MFA with knowledge and expertise that many dance studios can't provide. I've watched as he has trained several dancers and successfully prepared them for summer intensives including Julliard, Hubbard Street, Alvin Ailey, Alonzo King Lines, Perry Mansfield and more. This year almost all of his graduating seniors will be attending premiere college programs like PACE, NYU, and Chapman studying dance. All in the 5 short years that he has been open. I will be forever grateful for all that BC Dance has done for my children. It's been one incredible experience! read more

I have been with BC Dance since opening day and I can confidently say it is the reason I am who I am today. The instructors see potential in everyone who walks through the door and pushes them to be their best selves. I not only had the best dance training in Tucson, but I was taught life lessons that carried me into adult life. Some of my best friendships began at BC Dance and the relationships that form are life lasting. No one should be intimidated to start classes at BC Dance because the girls of all levels are welcoming and inspiring. There are classes for all ability and commitment levels. The recreational program Diamonds and Co is such a fun way for young kids to be a part of group with a low time commitment. The competitive team is the perfect balance of serious training and a fun creative atmosphere. If you are hesitant to try I 100% recommend going and trying a class. You will absolutely love it! read more

In regards to the previous review- we have been with this studio for many years and that has never been my experience. The owners, teachers and all staff are very willing to communicate with parents- when it is in a respectful way. There is a big difference between "communicating" constructively and criticizing. I choose to have my daughter at this studio because the owners and teachers are invested in maintaining a positive environment which is difficult to find in the world of dance. They have standards for how people are treated and I wouldn't want it any other way. To demand respect should make any parent feel comfortable that their child is not in a toxic environment. It is a happy, fun, healthy, connected, community and I feel grateful my daughter gets to be a part of it. read more

My 11 year old daughter has been dancing at BCD for almost three years now. She loved it right from the beginning and begged me to let her join the company. She has grown so much as a dancer since joining. We have found all of her instructors to be caring and attentive. The instructors and owner are approachable, kind, and encouraging. They work the dancers hard and help them reach their full potential. Dance can certainly be a pricey activity, but their fees and pricing seem on par with others in town. We tried a couple of other studios in the past, but BCD is the best fit for us. I regret trying out other places first to be honest. My daughter tells me all of the time she's never leaving. read more

Love knowing that my kids are getting high quality instruction, mentorship and that Mr Cory is always working to help them make connections across the dance industry. My kids love the instructors, their classmates, and all the opportunities extended to them. The studio has always been very willing to work with us with finances--payment plans, etc--and it's clearly visible they are one of the few studios looking to extend the art of dance outside of the socio economic niche local studios have been bound to for the last few decades. Love watching the arts flourish! read more

My daughter thrives at BC Dance. She has grown so much since she came to BC in 2017. BC is a home away from home for us. The training here is professional and prepares children for the professional world of dance. During Covid BC gave my daughter a place to go to school and have a normal or as normal as it could be in 2020 school experience. She was able to go to school with her peers and still dance in the afternoon. I truly believe that BC teachers and staff care about my daughter and their dancers. BC is top notch! read more

The training and choreography are top notch but the body shaming, the unprofessional handling of situations, the poor communication, the clique-ish attitude, the favoritism, the unrelenting, gruelish demands all come with a price which in the long run can end up being very damaging to your child's mind, body, self-esteem and ultimately destroying their love of dance. After years, we learned the hard way. Mr. Cory is like the other reviewer mentioned, a mean boy. read more

We love BC Dance. Excellent trainers who has only the dancer's best interest at heart. We have felt at home from day one. We love their Pre Professional program. My daughter has grown so much as a dancer. I stand amazed at her progress and I know its because of the dedication of the dance teachers. Every instructor is kind fair and patient.. No bullying is tolerated. BC dance is the best place for your dancer. read more

Fabulous dance studio. My granddaughters have just blossomed at BC Dance.

We have been with the studio for 6 years and could not imagine having our daughter dance anywhere else. Instruction is top notch and communication is excellent! They offer recreational, performance, and competition opportunities, so there is something for every dancer (even some adult classes). read more

BC Dance is a wonderful place for aspiring young dancers. They get a great foundation in the fundamentals of the art of dance as well as opportunities to compete and best of all perform in classical productions such as The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, and many others! read more

Great studio! I have 6 children who love to dance. The faculty and staff are loving and friendly. The owners really are very protective of the type of families that are allowed to attend the studio. My wife and I love that there are NO Crazy Dance Moms allowed. read more
