The Boston Dance Company
The Boston Dance Company’s goal is to develop a diverse company and school which provides professioal dancers, as well as children, the opportunity to study and perform the works of many different choreographers and to provide high quality dance productions to communities outside the Greater Boston area.
The repertory includes classical balllets, Balanchine ballets, reconstructed historic works, 20th century masterpieces, and new works by emerging local choreographers specifically commissioned for BDC.
Through our ongoing relationships with the Strand Theater in Dorchester, Salem State College, and with theaters in Central Massachusetts, the BDC utilizes the talent of local young dancers in our annual production of the Nutcracker and in family-oriented Spring productions.
The BDC school pedagogy focuses on clean, classical ballet technique and particularly emphasizes the speed, attack, musicality and versatility required by contemporary choreographers. Classes challenge the student to grow as technician and artist in a nurturing yet focused environment.
Our classes are generally small ( between 4 and 8 students each, 12 maximum). Each student receives a great deal of personal attention in a caring and nurturing emvironment.
Creative Movement
This is a fun class designed both to introduce children to the joy of dance and to hone memory, listening and attention skills. Exercises focus on balance, coordination, stretching, musicality and creativity.
Intro To Dance
This is an intermediary class for those students who have already had at least one year of Creative Movement or may be older and not quite ready for Pre-Ballet. This class will introduce students to varied styles of movement including Ballet, Jazz and Modern. It will emphasize rhythm, coordination, concentration, flexibility and introcue students to simple, basic steps and movements.
Pre-Ballet
Students should have had at least one year of previous dance training to enroll in this class. This class will introduce students to basic ballet vocabulary, the barre exercises, ballet positions, and simple movements. Rhythm and musicality are emphasized. Focus and concentration will be stressed.
Boys Movement Class for Homeschoolers
This will be a fun class for homeschooled boys varying in age from 6-10. The class will consist of a series of joint-loosening warm-up exercises, core strengthening exercises, and various stretches. The second half of the class we will work on various basic dance positions, turns, movements, and combinations of movements finishing with various jumping combinations.
Adult Advanced Ballet
Students work alongside Boston Dance Company members in this open company class. Classes are thorough and challenging and require much discipline. These classes push the dancers to their fullest potential. Great strength and stamina are built through intricate musicality. Both classical and contemporary ballet vocabulary are utilized.
