BRONX DANCE ACADEMY SCHOOL

BRONX DANCE ACADEMY SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #10 school district, located in BRONX, NY with about 269 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, BRONX DANCE ACADEMY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Bronx Dance Academy (located at 3617 Bainbridge Ave in the Bronx) is a unique public middle school (Grades 6–8) that integrates a rigorous academic curriculum with a specialized focus on performing arts. As a dedicated arts-centered school, it provides students with extensive training in various dance disciplines, including ballet, modern, jazz, and hip-hop, while ensuring they meet New York State academic standards. The school aims to cultivate creativity, discipline, and confidence in its students, viewing the arts as a vital vehicle for personal expression and cognitive development.

Beyond its focus on dance, the school fosters a supportive community environment that emphasizes character building and college and career readiness. Students are encouraged to participate in collaborative projects, performances, and workshops that connect their technical dance training to their broader education. By combining a structured academic program with intensive artistic practice, the Bronx Dance Academy prepares its students not only for high school success but also for the critical thinking and collaborative skills necessary for future professional and creative endeavors.
