Summer Program
Summer is the perfect time to try something new or dive deeper into dance! We highly recommend continued study during the summer months in order to maintain level of achievement.
BPAC offers 4 day, fun and interactive dance camps for our young dancers ages 3-6. Summer Intensive camps are offered for ages 7-18.
Students who dance throughout the summer improve drastically in their abilities and are more successful throughout the school year than students that take the summer off. Continued summer study helps the student remain strong, maintain muscle memory, and continue to advance.
Students who desire a lead role in the Nutcracker and those who would like to audition for competition teams must take a minimum of 25 hours of dance in the summer months. These can be obtained through BPAC's Summer Workshops and/or Private Lessons.
When auditioning for a leading role in the Nutcracker and/or for BPAC competitive teams summer hours are a strong point of consideration and weighed along with the student’s audition performance.
A student’s loyalty to the art of dance and drive to get the most out of their ability through hard work and dedication over the summer is highly encouraged and does not go unnoticed!
“Our daughter has danced at BPAC since 2003. It is her second home, and the talented, caring instructors have helped her shine! The studio stresses technique and grace over glitzy showmanship ... all while encouraging camaraderie and fun.”
“Our daughter has been dancing at BPAC since early 2004. We love this studio. It is a great family oriented studio with AWESOME instructors!”

“Truly one of the best decisions of my life to come to Bpac. It has always felt like a second home and a place where i could come and be myself. The teachers are fabulous and work super hard and truly care and love all the students. I’ve been dancing at Bpac since second grade and i have improved so much since starting here there is no other place like BPAC.”
“I came to BPAC after a really bad experience at another studio. It is truly like a family! All of the teachers are amazing and work really hard to help us grow as dancers. I improve more in one year than I did my whole time at the other studio. It is a smaller studio so each student gets the attention they need to improve. We have 2 amazing performances each year (The Nutcracker and a Spring show) at Reynolds Auditorium. If you are looking for a studio with a very positive and welcoming environment, this is the place to come.”
“We love this studio...it’s like our second family! The instructors are wonderful, patient and caring.”
“I love this dance studio! I am one of their dancers, and they are great the teachers are hard working and loving. They give everyone a fair chance. This is like a second home, so please if you are considering going here, do!!!!”
