BGC Dance

An Afro-Latin fusion revolution

What is BGC Dance?

BGC Dance is a Seattle-based Latin-fusion dance community. We dance salsa, bachata, cha cha, and draw inspiration from other dance forms like contemporary, jazz, and heels. Our unique style combines all our dance experience into a feel-good Latin-fusion. Join us for classes, workshops, and performances.  

What is BGC's mission?

Our mission is to create a space for latin dancers to deeply understand the roots and technique of dance to empower each dancer to intentionally make choices in their movement.

BGC Dancer Testimonials: Hear from Our Talented Performers

  • Dance has been part of my life since I can remember! Dance brings me so much joy! 6 years ago I decided to join a salsa dance team for the first time and that took my dancing to the next level. It’s challenging but so rewarding! Fast forward to now, I’m still in a team, dancing with BGC Dance Co. and I’ve been loving every minute of it!

Becca and this group of women were so incredibly supportive, patient and really made this season fun and empowering! I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to be part of this team and look forward to a second season!!

  • It was so helpful getting back into conditioning in a supportive environment where I could refresh my proper dance technique, work on memorizing choreography again and to top it off performing with this team of ladies was a blast! Becca's choreography and vision for our Latin Fusion piece was inspiring!
    Pamela
    BGC Dance Company
  • BGC has been such a welcoming and supportive group of strong, beautiful dancers. I hadn't danced in a team since before the pandemic, but I couldn't have picked a more perfect, fun team. I'm so thankful to our director Becca for bringing us together!

  • BGC really set a high standard for me and challenged me to raise the bar for myself. Becca is as fantastic a teacher as she is a choreographer. If you’re willing to learn, she’ll make sure you learn. It’s a joy to be able to learn from someone who focuses on such a high level of detail, technique, precision and performance skills. Thrilled to have made new friends with a group of like-minded women!!

  • I am honored to have had the opportunity to dance with BGC this season. The company welcomed me with open arms. This was the best introduction to the dance community of Seattle that I could have asked for.
    Fabienne
    BGC Dance Company
  • Since I immigrated to the US I had not been able to dance until I decided to audition for BGC Dance Company and it was definitely the best decision of my 2022, I am so grateful to be in this team that supports and loves each other so much. Dancing with them makes me feel free, happy and powerful.
    Katherine
    BGC Dance Company
  • It was an honor to share the love of dance with my talented team members and perform under the Space Needle in front of such a large audience…So many memorable moments, I was so happy for days after that…it was a great reminder of why I LOVE dancing so much. I felt honored to be in the presence of wonderful and powerful ladies, who all share the same passion for dance. I admire how positive and loving the team is. Becca, our fearless leader, has created an atmosphere that is truly wonderful.
    Ana
    BGC Dance Company
  • I didn’t grow up training in studios nor did I have access to studio training but Becca made turns and kicks accessible and less scary for adult street dancers like myself. I take classes in other styles and go into those with confidence knowing I have some technical foundations from BGC training. I loved performing our piece in front of people. Nothing makes me happier than hearing stories of how people were inspired to take dance classes or return to dance as an adult because they saw our performance.
