THE NATIONAL BALLET COMPETITION BUILT ON EDUCATION
Fair Scoring.
Real Coaching.
A Stage Where Your Dancers Are Finally Seen.
BCA is the youth ballet competition where every dancer receives one-on-one feedback from world-class jurors, transparent and immediate scoring, and a path to over $850,000 in scholarships, not just a number and a trophy.
What Sets Us Apart
We built BCA because we've felt the same frustration. Co-founded by Matthew Diaz-Caldwell and Ward Billison, BCA puts education and honest coaching at the center of competition, not just a scoreboard.
Last season, 5,000+ dancers, 300+ studios, 9 Semi-Final cities, and more than $850,000 awarded in scholarships. Every dancer who competes gets a master class, one-on-one jury coaching, and an included Joffrey Ballet School audition.
-
Pick your Semi-Final city. 9 events across the U.S. each season.
-
Get coached and compete. One-on-one jury feedback, masterclasses, and fair immediate scoring.
-
Advance to the Grand Prix Finals April 15th through the 18th, 2027 in Las Vegas.
"WE HELP DANCERS FEEL SEEN & SUPPORTED"
Most ballet competitions leave dancers feeling like a number. Scores arrive with no explanation. Feedback is rushed or non-existent. Dancers train for months and walk off the stage with the ranking but no idea what to work on next. And studios are left wondering if the judging was even fair.
Wait another season, and your dancers compete again without the coaching that actually moves them forward. Register now, and they leave every event with real feedback, real growth, and a shot at scholarships that open doors to summer intensives, collegiate programs, and professional pathways.
"BCA is more than a competition, it’s a comprehensive experience that nurtures the whole dancer. We left feeling motivated, encouraged, and more connected to the ballet community. We’re absolutely planning to return.”

At BCA, we believe ballet is more than a performance, it’s a lifelong pursuit of learning. Our mission is simple, to feel seen and be supported. We’re redefining what a dance competition can be by placing education, growth, and artistry at the center of everything we do.
"The entire competition ran efficient, professional, and with a lot of attention to detail. I highly recommend participating and our school is already gathering up our next group of competitors."
