Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, Arts and dance venue in Westchester Square, New York, US.

The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance operates from a gothic revival chapel situated on the grounds of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, providing multipurpose performance and studio spaces. The building contains several studios designed for dance classes, rehearsals, and public performances.

The academy was co-founded in 1998 by dancer and choreographer Arthur Aviles, who performed with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and writer and activist Charles Rice-González. It began in a community center, then rented space in the American Bank Note Company Printing Plant in Hunts Point for 14 years. Rising rent forced it out, and in October 2013 it moved into a gothic revivalist chapel in the cemetery of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Westchester Square.

The academy hosts annual festivals like Out Like That, which feature performances by LGBTQ artists from the Bronx and beyond. Visitors experience a dedicated space where these creative voices find a platform to share their work with audiences.

BAAD! sits in the gothic revivalist chapel in the cemetery on the grounds of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Westchester Square, reached by the 6 train to Westchester Square. It moved there in October 2013 after 14 years in the Bank Note Building. Programmes change with each festival season, so confirm what is on before travelling.

The building received landmark status from New York City in 1976 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, recognizing its architectural importance. This dual recognition shows how the structure itself holds historical value separate from the contemporary programs now within it.
