FVAD Syllabus

Fraser Valley Academy of Dance offers a specialized syllabus incorporating the British Royal Ballet style with the Royal Academy of Dance and major European methods, in addition to the ISTD Tap and ISTD Modern Theatre Dance syllabi.

Fraser Valley Academy of Dance – FVAD Syllabus

Fraser Valley Academy of Dance has developed its own syllabus which incorporates the RAD syllabus, and expands greatly on that base syllabus training to include the more advanced techniques taught by former professional dancers of major European Schools and the Royal Ballet School.

Mr Carney’s training at the Royal Ballet School, with internationally-trained former dancers of the Royal Ballet, provided the exceptional training required for his professional career that would span two decades touring the world.   The Royal Ballet Company and School have hired both British-trained and foreign-trained dancers and teachers, including Mr. Carney who returned there as a teacher after his dance career. The marriage of the British style with the main European methods such as Italian Cecchetti, French Paris Opera,  Russian Vaganova, and Danish Bournonville, offers the strongest form of classical ballet training in strength, technique, movement and artistry.

It is the union of traditional, classical methods that is the basis for the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance Syllabus.

The results speak for themselves as our students are accepted every year into prestigious Pre-Professional and Post-Secondary Training Programs in Dance and Performing Arts schools around the world – receiving over 130 invitations to ballet company schools and performing arts colleges!  Read our Student Achievements page for further details.
