PERFORMING ARTS

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.
Our science of dance labs will explore the human body's reaction to movement as it changes in space and time. The fundamental building blocks of various styles of dance modules will focus on developing fitness, confidence and personal abilities through incorporating studies of both the anatomy of the body and choreographic movement.
The dance sessions will also explore the history, vocabulary,
technique, and cultural context behind each form of dance.
Additionally, the training labs highlight the importance of
teamwork, collaboration, and positive group interactions.
