BKDC…more than just dance
At Brucie Klay’s Dance Center, our diverse and well-trained professional teachers work to give your child the highest standard of training. Our program offers a full range of classes to meet the needs of those students who wish to enter the dance profession, and those who just want the enjoyment of dance in their lives. You can expect your child to gain self-esteem, musicality, discipline, respect for others, and knowledge of the arts. Your dancer will train in a beautiful facility with three dance rooms and a large rehearsal hall. All studios contain a suspended floor to ensure care for the dancer’s developing bodies and parents can expect a safe environment with appropriate music and themes. We have no restrictions on observation of classes; all rooms have viewing windows for parents to watch their children’s dance education and a comfortable space to wait. Many BKDC students have gained the necessary experience to make the intensely competitive dance teams of local high schools and several students earned scholarships for college through their dance education. Since 1986, Brucie Klay’s has been a place where children can grow and challenge themselves, gain confidence with performance experiences, exercise and stay physically active, learn time management, commitment, and work ethic principles. They will meet friends outside of their respective schools, relate to different teachers, and gain a lifetime appreciation for the arts.
At Brucie Klay’s Dance Center, your child will always have a Room To Dance, Room To Grow, Room To Fly!
The Best Dance Center in Tampa Bay!
