Educational Curriculum

Welcome to our FREE educational resources. Our mission is to educate, entertain and inspire students of all ages through the joy of dance!

Who says science and art are mutually exclusive? BMDC’s goal is to deepen student understanding by visualizing the relationship between math, engineering and the arts.
