From the reviews
BCAI is a wonderful organization. Our community is blessed to have it. My children have participated in the self defense class and have greatly benefited from it. They have learned skills to help protect themselves, discipline, and teamwork.
I have 3 kids in BCAI’s co creation dance class for 3-6 year olds. This is a small class in which I feel my kids are seen as people first and foremost. My daughter had expressed wanting to be in a dance class and this program was of interest to me over other options locally as I hoped it would also provide cultural…
My twin daughters have been apart of this program for 4 years now. I’ll never forget the first year they attended. I’m a single father so to me it was just another summer program and a way to get them out the house so I could work. But my daughters glorified this program so much they insisted they return the next year.
BCAI is an exceptional, mission driven community resource. Beyond the amazing instructors who boost children's confidence, I've had the pleasure of being involved in planning for workshops and events. The team is truly amazing!!!. Their commitment to diversity and inclusion is clear in everything they do.
Your first ballet class at BCAI Cultural Arts & Humanities
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
