VA PROGRAMS

The VA Productions dance program is a model that brings the performing arts to youth of all ages. This program seeks to empower youth through innovative dance training labs. VA Productions uses dance to teach character development, self-discipline and goal setting.  The goal of the program is to create a fun and safe environment that encourages good relationships and allows students to become engaged dancers by learning the power of movement and transformation. We tailor our program to meet the specific needs of each school and grade level.​

​

​

Dance sessions will focus on the history, vocabulary, technique, and cultural context behind each form of dance.  Every student gets a chance to showcase their own artistic voice by creating and sharing dance sequences created in small groups.  The training labs foster structured and supportive interactions with classmates, problem solving practices and build academic as well as artistic skills. Additionally, the training labs highlight the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and positive group interactions. Students will also have the opportunity to perform in an informal presentation showcasing the knowledge gained during the labs before their peers, teachers, family, and the greater community!
