Bring-a-Friend Month Starts on Saturday, 10/1
What could be better than dancing? Dancing with friends! We're bringing back our popular Bring-A-Friend program!
Here's how it works:
Bring a friend to dance class! They'll get a FREE drop-in and you both receive a little surprise at the end of class OR
Spread the word and make sure your friend lets us know that you sent them.
When your friend registers, you'll both receive 50% off of one hour-long dance class for your friend's first month!
You can share this discount with as many friends as you like and stack your savings up to one month of class tuition. Dancers must be new to BDSOPA in order to be eligible for this referral program.
You're Invited to the BDSOPAAAHHH! Haunted Hallway Halloween Party!
Join us on Saturday, October 29th, from 4pm-6pm for an afternoon of kid-friendly Halloween fun!
From trick-or-treating to ghoulishly-fun games and a costume fashion show, it's one of our favorite fall traditions and we'd love to see you there.
Parents: We need your help! Please click below to volunteer to host a Trick-or-Treat station. Thank you for helping us make Haunted Hallway a blast!
Raise the Barre with Us!
Our first Raising the Barre meeting is Saturday, October 15th, from 12:30pm-1pm! Raising the Barre is open to all BDSOPA students in grades 6-12.
What is Raising the Barre?
Raising the Barre is our community outreach program providing the opportunity for students to help others while having fun and engage in new experience while gaining valuable leadership skills. In addition, participating in Raising the Barre can help fulfill school community service requirements, and volunteer hours can be documented for college applications. Previous projects include hosting a Dance-A-Thon for PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center, working with Fleece for Keeps to make fleece blankets for children in foster care, and more (including last year's BDSOPAAAHHH Trunk-or-Treat!). To learn more about Raising the Barre, click here.
