Broadway Big Brother/Big Sister Program (BBB/BS)
The Broadway Big Brother/Big Sister Program, created by Lainie Munro, provides aspiring young performers in BDC's Children & Teen Program the opportunity to work with and learn from professional dancers in the Broadway community. The young performer is matched with a Broadway professional who's own personality, style and interests compliment the child; a true "Big Brother" or "Big Sister." The children meet for six Sundays at the Broadway Dance Center, working side by side with their Big Brother or Sister rehearsing a production number choreographed by Ms. Munro.
Through rehearsals and a performance, the children gain an invaluable experience. They learn about performing/acting with a partner, staging, and professional work ethics. The wealth of knowledge and experience that each Big Brother or Sister brings to the table, they learn a lot about the "business" of show business and the hard work and discipline involved in making a career as a professional performer. Students, ages 9-18 yrs must be enrolled in at least two classes in the Children & Teen Program to audition for the BBBS program. The audition is TBA.
