FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Where do these programs meet and rehearse?
BDA currently meets at Bethesda only. YDE meets at both Bethesda and Friendship Heights. We also have a level of YDE that meets only at H Street. (But everyone will audition together at Friendship Heights.)

Should current dancers audition?
Yes, we ask that current students audition for placement each year!

Do YDE and BDA students audition together?
Yes, the audition will include ballet, jazz, and modern, plus an optional tap section for BDA students.

Can I audition even if I am on the fence about joining?
Of course! The audition is an enjoyable free class and a great opportunity to learn more about the program.
