Selected students of Fraser Valley Academy of Dance will be auditioning in Vancouver in Canada’s National Ballet School Audition 2023 tour.

The Professional Ballet Program Canada’s National Ballet School provides full-time ballet and academic training to students from Grade 6 to 12 as well as a Post-Secondary Program for academic graduates.  The ballet training represents the highest standard of professional ballet training, while academics follow Ontario’s Ministry of Education curriculum.

While any student may audition, it is essential that students who represent our Academy at the audition are an appropriate level.  As such, pre-approvals are required to audition as an FVAD student.

FVAD students eligible to audition must be pre-approved by Mr. Carney.
