About the school

Bronx Dance Academy is a high-achieving performing arts middle school focused on supporting students artistically, academically, and socially. BDA geniuses consistently perform above the district and city averages on assessments due to the strong core instruction they receive. In addition, students learn to channel and develop their own unique interests, creativity, and passion though the performing and visual arts. Thanks to the small, friendly school environment, BDA students form meaningful relationships with mentors who support students through the many changes that come with being a middle school student. BDA offers two majors, Dance or Visual Arts. Students must always audition for a spot at BDA before being admitted to their major program. Auditions take place in-person at the school or electronically through MySchools. Once students are selected for BDA, they master different art forms and are taken to a variety of trips each school year to places like the American Ballet Theatre, Alvin Ailey Dance Company, art museums, colleges, theme parks, and more. In addition, the MMCC afterschool program runs everyday from 2:50 - 5:45pm and nurtures student's understanding of theatre, drama, choir, music, videography and production, cooking, kickboxing, school newspaper. BDA also offers BDA Academic Success program for after-school small-group tutoring, and BDA Saturday Program for targeted instruction,BDA is a place where young artists can develop their knowledge and skills to reach their true potential for genius.
