Summer Institute

The BMS Summer Music & Dance Institute provides children ages 5 - 8 with a broad introduction to music, dance, and the performing arts at Brooklyn's best and most affordable summer programming.  BMS's seven week program is packed with creativity, fun, and new friendships.

This is the "best-kept-secret" for an affordable and enriching experience for Brooklyn kids, and is designed so that families can choose one week or all seven weeks, to accommodate other summer travel plans. Students get exposed to learning new instruments from BMS's world-class music faculty, learn new dance moves from our dance teachers, and put it all together in performances in the famous BMS theater.

Summer Music and Dance Institute Classes

Depending on the week, the Summer Music and Dance Institute offers students classes in Musical Theater, African Drums, Contemporary Dance, Music FUNdamentals, Drum Rhythmology, Piano, Violin, Ukulele, Guitar, Hip Hop Dance, and more.

Summer Intensives

As part of the Summer Music and Dance Institute, for students ages 9 - 12 we are excited to offer several intensive music and dance courses including: Dance Intensive, Hip Hop Intensive, Orchestra Intensive, Jazz Intensive, and Rock Band Intensive. These courses are tailored specifically to engage older, more experienced students. Rather than sampling a variety of music and dance classes, students have the opportunity to delve deeply into one specific instrument or subject matter.
