Our Academy 6 students Hanna and Myla successfully auditioned to Canada's National Ballet School's summer intensive 2025.

The summer program is also an audition for the NBS full-time professional division.

These are the 24th and 25th invitations received by FVAD students to attend NBS since our students began auditioning in 2014.

We have more Adult classes for our 2024-25 season as the classes have been so popular!

Enjoy the free movement of Lyrical, or the structured language of Ballet...or both!

• Beginner-Elementary
• Intermediate-Advanced

Now is your time to try a dance class! No experience needed for our Beginner classes. Take a free trial class.
