Only 3 days until BBTCD will compete at Youth America Grand Prix*! We are excited to be taking 6 dancers this year and entering the Pre-competitive category for the first time.

A lot of time and hard work goes into the preparation for this weekend. I would estimate   around 250 hours of rehearsals since September between all the dancers! This is on top of their regular class schedule and company rehearsals. This deserves a bravo in and of itself!

I like to instill in the dancers that the important part is the process itself, not winning. Winning is a bonus. The hard work and dedication is what molds them into better dancers and young adults!

This is a quote that I think applies in most cases and certainly in this case — “Rehearse like you’ve never won. Perform like you’ve never lost.”

Lets wish “Merde” to all the dancers this weekend!
