The Dance Experience

Barbara's School of the Dance (BSOTD) in Delmar, NY, is celebrating its 50th season as a vibrant hub for dancers of all ages, fostering a diverse community where every member is valued. Under the guidance of Miss Caley Dalpe and newly appointed Artistic Director Miss Elizabeth Hite, BSOTD emphasizes the belief that "it's not where you start, it's where you finish," encouraging students to explore their potential through various dance styles. In addition to its annual recital, BSOTD will launch a new production company in the 2025-2026 season to present a full-length theatrical performance each year, starting with a reimagined version of the classic tale Sleeping Beauty. This initiative aims to enhance the storytelling experience on stage while maintaining the studio's commitment to its established tradition of year-end showcases, ensuring that all dancers have the opportunity to shine.
