Special Broadway Workshops with Nick Kepley!
Think you've got what it takes to dance on Broadway?
Immerse yourself in the Broadway experience!!
Spend two weeks studying with Asheville native and Broadway veteran Nick Kepley. Nick has performed in Camelot at Lincoln Center, Mary Poppins and NBC's Smash, and most recently served as assistant to the choreographer for the Tony nominated revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. This summer, in addition to directing his own dance company Motion Dance Theatre, he will choreograph Carousel for Asheville Lyric Opera and will create an all-new version of the timeless classic Cats for the Flat Rock Playhouse.
Each week, Nick will focus on original choreography from a specific show. Students will learn two combos per week and will be instructed in the specific style and attitude need at auditions to land a professional job in NYC. This is an amazing opportunity to learn from someone who has worked in the business, both on stage and behind the table.
All classes will be held from 1:30 to 3:30pm.
Tuesday, June 11 and Thursday, June 13 -- Mary Poppins

Our Boy's Program
BCA offers boys ages 7 and up a robust program of dance including Boys ballet class, regular ballet class, modern, jazz, and tap.

Our experience has shown that well-trained boys are often offered full scholarships to many of the finest summer intensive programs. In addition, boys that complete our Pre-Professional program should be presented with a wide variety of opportunities at the college and professional level.

Boys play important roles in BCA ballets, especially the Nutcracker. We strongly encourage all our boys to participate in our productions as well as our annual recital, all of which occur at the Diana Wortham Theatre in downtown Asheville.
