Tour
In 2024, BCA will produce sixteen awe-inspiring ballet competitions across the United States, in cities chosen for their rich ballet culture and participation: San Diego, New Jersey, Boston, Houston, Boca Raton, San Mateo and Denver.
BCA events are high-energy gatherings that not only bring together the ballet community but also play a pivotal role in nurturing the next generation of ballet dancers. BCA will offer a noncompetitive and competitive ballet competition. It will provide seven unique sections of competition divided by specific age divisions. These include the following: mini, petite, pre-junior, junior, pre-teen, teen and senior age divisions. There are four types of entries to be included: ballet and contemporary solo entries, ensemble competition and group competition. Dancers will compete at regional champion events and will be adjudicated by a panel of three to five qualified and experienced master ballet teachers and judges. They will be scored on their technical and artistic execution. The dancers' scores will determine their overall placement and ability to receive scholarships and invitations to the Grand Championship Finals & Championship Gala event in the summer of 2025 in Las Vegas, NV.

Scholarships and Training Opportunities
BCA presents a Master Class and private coaching component at every regional championship event. The Master Class and private coaching component is the pivotal moment when dancers are assessed for scholarships and company contracts. The mandatory Master class for soloists (optional for ensemble and group dancers) is conducted by a professional ballet/contemporary teacher, providing judges and company directors the opportunity to observe each dancer in a studio setting. This facilitates a well-informed decision for scholarships and contractual offers. Judges and company directors assess technique, artistry, coachability and potential, both during workshops. Through partnerships with prestigious ballet schools, BCA offers scholarships that propel dancers towards greater heights in their training and competitive performance.
