Young Children’s Program
Our classes for children ages 3.5 to 7 years, provide a warm atmosphere that encourages young dancers to express themselves through their natural love of music and movement. Classes emphasize foundational dance skills, coordination, and musicality, providing an excellent foundation for VAB’s progressive dance training program.
Young Children’s Performance Opportunities
Performing onstage is an exciting experience for a dancer, whether beginner or advanced. All dancers are eligible to perform in our annual Spring Performance. In addition, all ballet dancers in Ballet 1 and up may perform in The Nutcracker.
