HONORING OUR BDA SENIORS*
❤️🇬🇧❤️
We are proud to present our 2026 BDA Seniors. Each of these dancers are very special to us… they’re a talented, fun, hard-working group. Saying goodbye after watching them grow since pre-school won’t be easy, but we send them off into the world, wishing them the very best in their bright futures. Our next Senior Dancer in the spotlight is our Chloe Anne E.

“I started dancing at the BDA when I was 5, my first show being Snow White. As years passed, my love for being on stage and expressing my passion through my movement grew more and more. I ended up joining jazz when I was in 3rd grade, and modern when I was in 6th. I was placed in a group solo for Rapunzel as an arrow during my freshman year, then started my journey of performances as an individual through being a golden ticket for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory during my sophomore year. Over time, I came to realize that going to dance classes wasn’t just for the form of movement itself. Dancing helped me express myself in a way that I could never deliver through words, and enforced a kind of growth and discipline specially made from the studio.
I learned to grow out of my shell, embrace great friendships, find good reasons to laugh, and become the person I am today. I am endlessly thankful for having the BDA as my second home for almost my whole life, and I will continue to cherish all the opportunities that I have received in my time here.
This year, I hope to bring the role of Princess Ashlyn to life and make the 12 Dancing Princesses a final show to remember forever. In the fall, I will work on my transfer degree in business at Green River College before transferring to a university in-state. These 12 years will not be seen as a chapter left in the past, but a piece of my heart that I will forever carry from the studio and into my future.”
