Professional Training Program
The half day Professional Training Program (PTP) is designed for students aged 12+ who would like to train in an intensive and professional environment. Students attend academic school in the morning and dance training classes in the afternoon. Acceptance into the PTP is by audition only.
PTP students are nurtured in an atmosphere dedicated to excellence with personalized programs and coaching to ensure training is well rounded and meets the demands of a professional dancer.
The program runs for 11 months each year beginning the season with a mandatory Summer Intensive session designed to accelerate progress, build technical strength and develop artistry. Throughout the year students are also exposed to many performance opportunities including group and solo work in local and international competitions and festivals. The season is capped off with the annual VAB Celebration of Dance in May.
