The BXP Dance Company performs and competes at several venues each year. Our goal is to teach our students the beauty of dance being a performer first, a competitor last. We teach the students that competition is a performance opportunity and is about the gift of dance that they give their audience. The awards, medals, trophies are all extra. Their worth as a dancer and as a person could never be measured by a trophy or placement in a competition.

The Body Expressions Dance Company strives to provide dancers of all ages that have a love, drive and passion for dance an opportunity to expand their talents and training and possibly their careers as young dancers. Auditions are held annually, and company and crew members have a required schedule of classes in addition to rehearsals and performances.
