BDA Company Team

The BDA Company is more than just a competitive dance team — it's a community where passion, discipline, and camaraderie come together to create something truly special. Designed for dancers who are committed to growth both on and off the stage, the Company provides a dynamic environment that nurtures technical excellence, creative expression, and personal development.

Open to Bozeman Dance Academy dancers, the Company offers a supportive space where dancers build lifelong friendships, learn the value of teamwork, and grow under the guidance of experienced teachers and coaches. Dancers are selected to compete group pieces in a variety of styles, including lyrical, jazz, hip hop, tap and contemporary, by age group and ability. Through national competitions, intensive rehearsals, and team-building experiences, members not only become stronger performers but also confident leaders.

The BDA Company experience is about more than awards — it's about building character, community, and unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.

BDA company - Home Team

This program is perfect for dancers who are curious about the competitive experience and want additional performance opportunities—without the full commitment of Company.

What makes Home Team a great fit?

  • A lower time, travel, and financial commitment than full Company

  • Opportunity to compete at 1–2 local events (Bozeman/Belgrade area)

  • Weekly training including:

    • 3 hours of regular classes (must include technique such as ballet or jazz)

    • 1-hour rehearsal with their company coach

  • Learn and perform 1–2 routines (based on team size)

  • Chance to participate in local performances, including community events like parades

  • A supportive introduction to the competitive dance experience

Home Team dancers will train, rehearse, and grow together while getting a true taste of what BDA Company is all about—just at a more flexible level.

Audition & Placement:

  • All dancers attend Company auditions.

  • Dancers simply indicate interest in “Home Team” on their audition form.

  • Coaches may recommend placement for dancers best suited to the home team.
