Event Details
Following guidance available from the BC Health Officer, Fraser Health Authority, and WorkSafeBC, we are defining our FVAD Re-Opening Plan – Phase 4.
In line with our provincial government’s plans, we are taking a four-phase approach to re-opening our school. All phases rely on the success of the previous phase, as well as the success of the overall BC re-opening plans. Each Phase includes its own COVID-19 Safety Plan, within the overall FVAD Re-Opening Plan.
Phase 4 – In-Studio Small Classes
In Phase 4, we are introducing in-studio small classes (up to 8 students), while offering Phase 1 online pre-recorded classes for use during any lock-downs or self-isolations.

Join us for Fall 2021 Observation Week
Our Fall 2021 Observation Week invites family and friends to watch their child in class.
FVAD organizes Observation Days in the Fall and Winter terms.
During covid-19 restrictions, observation classes will be moved to an online platform if required. Families will be updated nearer the date.
These days are also opportunities to meet with teachers and discuss students’ progress and any questions. Parents are encouraged to attend at least one of your child’s classes during each Observation Week.
Please note that we do not hold Observation Days in the Spring Term as students are preparing for the School Show and wish to keep their performances a surprise for their show.

Event Details
It’s time for Fall 2021 Assessment Week
Our Fall 2021 Assessment Week occurs for most classes this week. FVAD organizes Assessment Weeks twice each year: once in the Fall Term and once in the Winter 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 Fall 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. The subsequent Winter Assessments will place students into Pre-Approved classes for the next school year.

FVAD Nutcracker 2018. Choreography: John C. Carney. Photo: Duane Bradley Media.
A true winter tradition in Mission, Artistic Director John C. Carney returns with the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance for its 13th season to the Clarke Theatre on December 11, 2021 to present his newly-modified reduced-for-safety choreography of the Nutcracker ballet.
Having danced many roles in the Nutcracker with English National Ballet every winter season in London during his many years with the company, Mr. Carney brings an in-depth professional knowledge of this full-length classical ballet to this local stage.
For 2021, the Nutcracker Re:Imagined offers a streamlined one-act ballet with everyone’s favourite dances of the Nutcracker. Follow Clara into her dream with the mysterious Drosselmeyer, through Snowflakes and across the serene Ocean to the Kingdom of Sweets, where she is presented with the colourful and exciting dances of the Candy Canes, Flowers, Arabian, Spanish, Chinese, Smarties and Russian accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s imaginative score.
Following the magic of Nutcracker Re:Imagined, our audience will be enchanted by the inspirational acrobatic presentation of Polaris by Mission’s own circus school, Triumph Acrobatic Arts. With silks and trampolines and awe-inspiring acts in a winter wonderland, we have the ideal partners for our new Re:imagined winter production!
All the family will enjoy the magic of this traditional (now Re:Imagined) winter presentation!
