About this school

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

Bronx Dance Academy is a high-achieving performing arts middle school focused on supporting students artisically, academically, and socially. BDA geniuses consistenly perform above the district and city averages on assessments due to the strong core instruction they receive her. 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, frinedly school environment, BDA students form meaningful relationships with staffmembers who support our BDA geniuses with 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 either major program. Auditions take place in-person or electronically through MySchools. Once students join BDA, they master different art forms, and are taken to a variety of trips each school year to places like the American Ballet Theatre, Apollo Theatre, Alvin Ailey Dance Company, musuems, colleges, theme parks, and many more. In addition, we have our MMCC afterschool program that runs everyday from 2:50 - 5:45pm that exposes, and nurtures student's understanding of theatre, drama, choir, music, videography and production, cooking, homework help, small-group tutoring, kickboxing, school newspaper, and other extracurricular activities.
