Company Structure

Boston Bollywood operates on a biannual basis with two seasons per year -- spring and fall. Our spring season is conducted from March through June and the fall season is conducted from September through November. Workshop seasons are held in Jan, Feb, July and August. We break in December.

In order to participate in the Performance Classes, dancers are required to participate in dancer auditions. Dancer auditions are held at the beginning of each season for level placement. Level placement determines in which performance classes you can participate. Dancers who successfully place in a level are eligible to participate in the immediate Performance Classes.

Notes:
* Auditions are not necessary for workshops.
* We do not offer classes for kids.

Company Tuition

Performance Class (12 weeks) tuition:

Performance Quarter tuition for each piece includes hour-long weekly rehearsals for 12 weeks and the opportunity to perform at the best venues in Boston. Performance class schedule is announced a few weeks prior to Dancer Auditions.

Note: Discounts are available on performance quarter tuition to students currently enrolled in a school program.

Workshop tuition:

Workshop Classes are intended to offer dancers opportunities to participate in dance classes without having to perform. Workshop tuition is decided on the basis of the length of class, type of class and the location at which the class is being offered. Workshop Class schedule is announced through our newsletter and through posts on our Facebook page few weeks in advance. Tuition can be paid on a per class basis. No student discounts are available for Workshops.
