STUDENT WELLNESS

The Academy continues to prioritize a holistic approach to dance training and pays close attention to each student’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Skilled and trained staff offer compassionate guidance and support when dealing with all aspects of living away from home, meeting medical insurance requirements, or connecting individuals with accredited healthcare professionals. VAB’s full-time Student Services Coordinator, ensures dancers are setup with everything they need so that they are fully supported.
Students have access to an entire health and wellness team, including on-site physiotherapy. VAB ensures dancers have easy access to practitioners such as dietitians, psychologists, sports physicians, chiropractors, and acupuncturists to maintain physical and mental health.
