Samantha's vision for BDA was to provide students within the South an Associate Programme to build dancer's confidence to enable them to audition for other Associate Programmes in London. To offer a programme to those who were not able to afford to send their children away and an opportunity for students to learn new styles of dance and work with professionals from around the world that complements their training with their Local Dance School.
