BDA’s Studio Finder resulted in the majority of the studio requests our community center received throughout the pandemic.
Every inquiry we received was impressively from the target audiences we are committed to serving, and resulted in impactful and enduring relationships.
In one case, the Studio Finder resulted in a major motion picture approaching us to hold their local dance callback auditions and rehearsals at our center, and by hosting their auditions, I witnessed first-hand their equitable process of auditioning and casting many local dancers in lucrative principal dancer roles in their film.
