What would you keep from this year’s event?
“The kindness of the BDA teams and the master class teachers.
I loved the environment and the structure of the class and it was so kind to even give time for the dancers to refuel and hydrate.
This was an amazing experience. I had the best day!”
–Avery Gingrich
This year’s classes included a first-ever All Abilities ballet class “Ballet Embodiment” team taught by Melissa Sallee and Martha Tornay, contemporary dance taught by Brian McGinnis; commercial/musical theatre taught by Ruka White; and freestyle hip hop foundations taught by Alex Ambilia.
