BAAD!’s AATT ACADEMY SUMMER ATHLETIC DANCE & ROBOTICS

July 6th – August 6th, 2026

REGISTRATION STILL AVAILABLE FOR BOYS 6-9 YEARS OLD!

BAAD! – The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance announced that Summer 2026 registration is open  for the AATT Academy, a community-based, accessible dance education program for 6-9-year-old boys and girls. The Academy offers free tuition to all students. The Summer program offers a fully inclusive, nurturing environment that uses multimedia to provide an immersive experience. In its tenth year, the program runs Mondays (Robotics only), Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 2 pm for five weeks, from July 6 to August 6, 2026.  

The AATT Academy is ecstatic to announce the return of its collaboration with New York Theatre Ballet to bring Robotics in Motion back to AATT Academy! This program has limited capacity with only 9 spots left for Boys ages 8 and 9. Students will learn how to build a robot and how to dance with it. It’s a unique opportunity to combine science, technology, and the arts in a creative and engaging way.

The program offers Bronx children a unique opportunity to receive high-quality dance instruction from masters in the field. Children will have fun and learn progressive, non-competitive, gender neutral, quality instruction in movement-based techniques from traditional dance to athletics, including a mix of dance forms, gymnastics, Martial Arts, ballet, contemporary dance, West African dance, Hip Hop, and more. At the culmination of the program, the children demonstrate various dance techniques they learned in a public showing.

BAAD! is located at 2474 Westchester Avenue. To register a child or for further information about the AATT Academy, contact Dance Education Coordinator Monica Azpeitia at 718-918-2110 or visit www.BAADBronx.org.
