Charles Owens, a proud member of
BSDC II. I’ve been dancing for approximately 10 years starting at Victory Christian Center (VCC), eventually moving on to dancing in high school: Franklin Learning Center (FLC), also taking classes at various dance schools. Nonetheless all being great experiences, however in my many years of dancing very few times have I felt as welcomed as this Company has made me feel. The devotion, dedication, & pure energy across the board just speaks volumes to how true the company is to what we stand for, that being to BRare, BNotice, & BYou! BSDC has quickly become one of the pillars in my life and I am highly grateful to be apart of such a sensational Company!”

Nyla Anderson, a student at CAPA. I’ve been dancing for 13 years in which time I’ve attended two dance schools until I joined BSwan Dance Center, but I couldn’t have been happier when I was awarded a scholarship into BSwan Dance Company because I found a home and this home couldn’t be better. It’s not just about dance, the experiences and the people I’ve come across and began to love makes everything worth it when I touch the floor.
