BAHS mission: Balancing Artistry & Humility, Step-by-step
At Bethany Ann Hellen Studios, the well-being of our students is always our top priority. No award, trophy, placement, title, recognition, or popularity is worth compromising the safety and protection of our dancers. This core value shapes everything we do, and our hope is that it is reflected in every class we teach.
We are deeply committed to prioritizing our dancers’ physical, emotional, and sexual safety. This commitment is evident in our conscientious selection of age-appropriate costumes and choreography, and in our avoidance of music containing inappropriate content such as references to drug use, sexual themes, violence, or explicit language.
Dance should help build self-confidence and a sense of worth. We must continually consider the messages conveyed through our movements, music, and costume choices—and how these choices reflect the value we place on ourselves and others. Ultimately, the dancer must always be prioritized above the dance.
BAHS is dedicated not only to developing artistry and technique but also to nurturing humility and meaningful life values. In a world often marked by negativity and darkness, we strive to be a light.
