HOUSING / TRANSPORTATION:
While we have no official Bridge Movement residence, many of the Bridge students choose to live together in local apartments. In addition to putting you in touch with a local realtor who can assist in finding housing, we will connect members of the 2025-26 cohort to facilitate potential roommates.
Both South Orange and Maplewood, NJ are beautiful, safe and quaint communities in close proximity to our home, Class Act Performing Arts Studio. If dancers wish to reside in the excitement of New York City, the commute is extremely convenient by New Jersey transit and a five minute walk to the studio. Please reach out if you would like further guidance on housing possibilities.
Although local transportation is available by bus, we recommend having a car if possible for ease. We have found that even one car per household/apartment is very helpful for getting around locally as well as to classes at The Bridge.
TUITION
We understand that attending The Bridge is a financial commitment and encourage dancers to work outside of classes. With classes finishing at 4pm weekly and weekends off, it allows for dancers to work to help bring in extra money. Many of our Bridge dancers teach dance, babysit or work in local businesses while attending the Bridge. We are working hard to make The Bridge Movement as affordable as possible, especially in comparison to a college dance programs.
