This July, Broadway Jazz takes you to the Moulin Rouge with the amazing Wendy Henrique ! 🔥

We're spending the whole month inside the red velvet and gaslight of Paris, sultry, theatrical, dripping in spectacle, scandal and sequins. The kind of material that makes you want to perform every single move like the room is watching💃🕺

Expect choreography that's slow-burn and seductive, hips and hands that flirt with the audience, and music that builds from smoky cabaret to full spectacle.

🎭 Beginner Broadway Jazz — Thursdays 18:10
🎭 Intermediate Broadway Jazz — Thursdays 17:00
🎭 Advanced Broadway Jazz — Thursdays 19:15

All adults welcome at every level. Book at bbata.co.za or via the Fit by Wix app

There is genuinely no other class like it.

Open Heels is an hour of heels technique, floorwork, body rolls and combinations,
the kind of movement that requires you to stop apologising for taking up space.

Heels are optional, attitude is not 👠

Wednesdays 19:15 – 20:15, everyone is welcome

This June, Broadway Jazz goes underground 🔥

We're spending the whole month in the world of HADESTOWN, smoky, soulful, blues-soaked and dramatically rich. The kind of material that makes you want to move differently.

Expect choreography that's grounded and gritty, arms that tell a story, and music that gets under your skin by week two.

🎭 Beginner Broadway Jazz — Thursdays 18:10
🎭 Intermediate Broadway Jazz — Thursdays 17:00
🎭 Advanced Broadway Jazz — Thursdays 19:15

All adults welcome at every level. Book at bbata.co.za or via the Fit by Wix app

Your body does a lot for you. This class is how you return the favour 💕

Dance Stretch & Conditioning is an hour of deep stretching, mobility work and muscle conditioning, built around how the body moves when it dances, but useful for anyone who moves at all. 🕺💃

Come on its own or stack it with another class, either way, you'll feel it the next morning in the best possible way!

🌟 Wednesdays 18:10 – 19:10, everyone welcome!

Book at bbata.co.za or via the Fit by Wix app

Open Drama is on every Tuesday at 17:00. 🎭

It's a one-hour class for adults, no experience needed, no pressure, just a good way to spend a Tuesday evening.

You'll work on scenes, exercises and improvisation in a small group with a professional drama teacher.

First time? You'll be fine. Everyone was new once ❤️

Tuesdays 17:00 – 18:00

And that's a wrap on Songs for a New World ✨🌍

Twelve shows. Two casts. One beautiful constellation of people who made this possible.

This production has been a labour of love from the very first rehearsal to the final bow tonight, and none of it would have been possible without every single person who poured something of themselves into it.

To our cast, our crew, our creative team, thank you for showing up, again and again, and for trusting each other enough to step into your own new world, night after night. ❤️

To everyone who bought a ticket, shared a post, spread the word or simply believed in what we were building, you are part of this constellation too. 🙏

This is truly what theatre does, it brings people together. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Love BBATA, 10 years and counting 🎭🤎
