“As a parent, I adore the teachers at BAM because they genuinely nurture a passion for movement and dance in all the girls. The wide range of dance styles they offer allows the dancers to explore and discover what they truly love. My daughters have been part of BAM since its inception and have received incredible support from the teachers over the years. They celebrate each dancer’s individuality and encourage growth. Since Savannah won the “Dancing Among the Stars” scholarship in June 2025, I’ve witnessed a remarkable boost in her confidence both in class and on stage. She absolutely loves attending all the classes, and the additional instruction has been wonderful! Her dancing has blossomed beautifully, and you can truly see her joy and confidence radiate every time she steps on stage!”
"We love BAM because of the dedication Ms. S and Ms. Ashtyne have truly invested in all of the girls that have walked into that studio. They have created such a safe place and family atmosphere here at BAM that the girls absolutely love and cherish as if it is their “second home”.
The growth, strength, and “CONFIDENCE” through the scholarship program has given Sommer, is unmeasurable! She was such a shy little girl that has truly found her passion! These are life experiences that she will cherish carry with her forever! So grateful for BAM for bringing that to light! 💜"
"Since becoming members of BAM after COVID, it has been an excellent fit for our family. Conveniently located close to home, with instructors who truly love teaching and giving young ladies the opportunity to dance, it didn’t take Adley long to discover her passion and love for dance.
Since joining BAMDA, we have watched Adley grow tremendously — not only as a dancer but as a person. Her confidence has blossomed, her work ethic has strengthened, and she has developed discipline, teamwork, and a belief in herself that carries far beyond the studio. When she is on stage, she is truly in her element, shining with confidence and joy.
In 2022, she became the studio’s first scholarship winner, which allowed her to take even more classes — and she hasn’t slowed down since. She is now a proud member of the competition team, and when she’s not in the studio, she’s dancing at home.
We are so grateful for the opportunities Ms. S, Miss Ashytne, and Miss Maddie have given Adley and so many others in our community. Being part of the BAM family has created incredible friendships and lasting bonds with instructors, dancers, and families alike. We truly can’t imagine Adley being anywhere else but BAMDA"
