Mao's Last Dancer

We've been hearing great buzz about Mao's Last Dancer, a movie that opens in NYC tomorrow, August 20. Check out the link below to get a glimpse of what the movie has to offer!

From Samuel Goldwyn Films:
Based on the best selling autobiography by Li Cunxin, MAO’S LAST DANCER tells the epic, inspirational true story of his extraordinary journey from a poor upbringing in rural China to international stardom as a world-class dancer. His story exemplifies the strength and determination that it takes to rigorously study dance and pursue one’s dreams.

Directed by Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies, Driving Miss Daisy), written by Jan Sardi (The Notebook, Shine) and produced by Jane Scott (Shine), all of whom are previous Academy Award nominees.

Show Us Your Logo!

We were inspired by one of our long-time students, Maria Kent, who sent us a picture of herself at the top of Mt. Fuji in her BDC sweats! We want to see more of your adventures, so we're starting a new album on our site called "Show Us Your Logo" that we want to fill with all of you in your BDC gear!

If you have any pictures of yourself in your BDC logo wear doing something fun, visiting a cool place, or just hanging out in your home town, we want to see! Send them to ACook@bwydance.com so we can post them in our new album! We want to see where our little BDC logo man has gone! We know he's circled the globe, so let's see if we can cover the map! We'll even have fun prizes for some of our favorites :)

Join us as we inspire the world to dance!
