My child has autism and since starting here at BDA her confidence has grown so much. In addition to…read moreher therapy, BDA has taught her how to be self aware of her body and how she moves around others. She has learned to be apart of a team in a supportive inclusive environment. BDA has a motto of kindness first and it really shows in my childs smile and the friends she has made. The moms are really encouraging of each other and their dancers. Miss Jasmine and her team has shown nothing but kindness and compassion for the dancers and the children's dreams of creativity and expression through dance. It really feels like and extended family.

This is my first year here and so far I am so so about this place. Not overly impressed to be…read morehonest. I signed my 3 year old up for dance and gymnastics. I don't like that we can't see inside the classrooms. I understand that parents inside the studio would cause a distraction, but for being in this specific location (Jefferson Ave one at east) it's been there for over 15+ years. You'd think the school would have invested in some camera system where the parents could watch from their phones or something. Again, my daughter is three so I'm not expecting a whole lot. But, it would be nice to know what she's learning. Also, I don't like how I was asked to bring my daughter to a 3:30 or 4:30 time slot or that I could get a refund, as the school needed to accommodate more students. I understand that, but I do not get off work till about 4:30. So after trying one more week I was going to ask for the refund, but then another instructor told me to keep my daughter in with the 6 year olds since there's only 4 weeks of class left. It seems like the teachers are great, I'm not knocking them at all. I think it's more management and the whole building set up. The parking lot is a nightmare to try and get out of if you're parked in the back, mainly. If you register your kid here, park at 1st advantage to save some time.
