It’s time for Spring 2023 Assessment Week

Our Spring 2023 Assessment Week take place in all classes this week. FVAD organizes Assessment Weeks twice each year: once in the Fall Term and once in the Winter or Spring Term. Teachers formally assess students based on defined skill sets for each class.

Fraser Valley Academy of Dance has developed its own syllabus for each grade and dance style. In ballet, while the syllabus incorporates the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, it expands greatly on that book-based training to include the more advanced techniques taught by former professional dancers at the Vaganova Academy, Cecchetti and Royal Ballet Schools. In modern theatre dance, the syllabus of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) is incorporated with more advanced techniques to provide challenging and flexible skill sets.

Report cards are emailed (or mailed if no email is on account) to all students by the start of the next term.

Our Spring Assessments identify any difficulties students may be having, alert parents to issues such as lack of knowledge resulting from absences, and also confirm selected students for more advanced training.

Following the assessments, students will be assigned their Pre-Approved classes for the next school year. The list of possible classes for each student will then appear in their online account for easy selection for September. Registration for September begins in April for existing students, and May for new students.

Event Details

All students have the option of having their photograph taken in costume by Revival Arts Photography at FVAD’s School Photo Days 2023 on Saturday, June 17, the weekend before our school show.

This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain extremely high quality images by an award-winning photographer. The schedule and order forms are below.

FVAD Photo Day – Schedule 2023 (coming soon)

Students performing in the school shows are photographed in a group photo for each dance, and may also purchase an individual pose as well as the group photo.

FVAD Photo Day – Order Form 2023

Use one form per dance photo
- You will need one form per costume (ie. per dance photo).
- Provide your total payment in CASH OR CHEQUE for all forms combined.
- Forms are to be handed to the photographer with payment on Photo Day.
Order forms are also available at the FVAD office.

PLEASE ATTEND YOUR GROUP PHOTO EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING: We encourage all students to attend their dance group photo as there is no charge to be in this photo. We use these photos for promotional purposes, and as an archive of our current and former students.

Students must place an order for a photo item in order to have an individual pose taken.
Students wishing to obtain a copy of the group photo may then purchase one.
Students not performing in the school shows may still have their photograph taken, and may borrow a costume if desired. (Please inform the office ahead of time so as to be scheduled in the Photo Day schedule in this case)

View the Hair, Makeup and Footwear needs for each costume.

Please arrive at FVAD at the Arrive Time, and collect your child at the Pick-Up Time.
Additional time has already been scheduled for students to be changed in and out of costume between these times.
