"Dance is the hidden language of the soul."
Martha GrahamIn addition to Dance Classes the Dance Academy Students will be able to select additional Arts Courses which include Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts.
The Dance Program is designed to give students professional dance training and a strong foundation in ballet, modern, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, and commercial dance styles. Students will also learn the history and theory of dance, music, choreography, and performance. Dancers develop physical strength, self-expression, creativity, individuality, self-confidence, and a strong understanding and appreciation for the Arts.
"AV Dance is my runaway place , my safe place , it thought me leadership but it also thought me to just let go and be free."

The Dance Academy encourages students to grow as dancers and artists, providing them with techniques to use in their future roles as performers, choreographers, directors, producers, educators, or in any career/major they choose to pursue.
"Dance has shown me that I can always push myself to do better, to be confident with myself, and mostly enjoy what I have and be grateful for it."
