Junior Training Program
About
Broadway Dance Center is thrilled to present a full-time summer extension of its celebrated Children & Teen Program: the Junior Training Program.

Our qualified staff will be on call during program hours to meet your children’s needs, and our invested faculty will work closely with them to provide personal attention in the classroom.
