Our Mission
There is space in dance for everyone. To support that statement, we provide an array of classes with a personal approach, tailoring learning methods to each student's needs. We take pride in our strong technique and uphold a very high standard with modesty in music, behavior and costumes.
Our Passion
Teaching dancers the value of dedication, discipline, respect and hard work in becoming a classically trained dancer while instilling a lifelong love for the art and history of dance. Movement is beautiful and so are YOU!
Dedicated Educators
Our classes are taught by dedicated and experienced educators. Using multiple teaching techniques, we make sure that every student finds a path to success.
Class Environment
We embrace a positive learning environment that will prepare your dancer for the path ahead. At VSD, we believe the studio is an environment where healthy risk taking, in all forms, is encouraged. Students develop skills in performing and perceiving through participation dancing, as well as watching, and supporting others in their class. This class environment values a commitment to self, to the group, and to lifelong exploration and learning.
Learning Objectives
Become a better dancer.
Develop movement skills, musicality, dynamic range, clean technique and emotional expression.
Become a responsive listener.
Musical elements involved in dance is a beautiful layer to the art. Students are encouraged to listen, feel, and respond with movement to all different types of music they will be learning and hearing in the studio.
Develope appreciation for the art form.
Dance remains a powerful art form with history that shouldn't be forgotten. History allows us to gain a better understanding surrounding the events, challenges, and celebrations that helped to form the people who developed our art form and why. History is the study of change, the understanding of what has evolved, what has remained the same, and what has fallen to the wayside. It helps us to understand how change has affected the past to help us determine how similar change will affect the future. During class they will learn the history of dancers, movement, music, stage, theater, choreographers and so much more.
Improve health, well being and learning ability.
With benefits ranging from enhanced sleep, mood, learning, productivity, and overall health function, dance provides an alternative to repetitive exercise with complex, integrated and dynamic movement. Physical education is not to be pushed aside. You will have your body and mind for your entire life, it's very important to learn to listen to it and take care of it!
Cultivate inner and outer confidence.
It feels great to move! And feeling great is something not to be ignored. Dancing develops skills that can translate to many non-dance career paths. The confidence gained through achievements in dance builds social skills, increases self esteem and the ability to communicate well in a group.
Discover basic anatomy and kinesiology.
Experience the geography of your body involved in dance and its functions through movement, visualization, sensing, mobilization, sight and how muscle memory is used and applied. Understanding and keeping your instrument safe and healthy is key to moving well and solving physical obstacles.
Feel more connected to others; create and share in community.
Dance class is a shared collective experience. Dance connects us though music and movement. At a time when many students feel anxious and emotionally isolated, class provides a positive, safe, and shared community for all.
