Valley Academy for the Arts offers students the opportunity to enrich their dance education through an innovative and holistic approach. The ballet curriculum is taught with the intention to equip students with the necessary tools to gain body awareness and preservation in their dance practice. Our teaching heavily focuses on the Vaganova technique, understanding of anatomy, application of kinesiology, and developmental movement that is appropriate for growing bodies. Valley Academy for the Arts takes pride in our students that have continued their high school training at programs such as Gelsey Kirkland Ballet(NY), Kirov Ballet Academy(DC), and Nutmeg Conservatory(CT).
