It’s time for Fall 2018 Assessment Week
Our Fall 2018 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 and Royal Ballet Schools. In tap and 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.

A true winter tradition in Mission, Artistic Director John C. Carney returns with the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance for its 11th season to the Clarke Theatre on December 8, 2018 to present his 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. Over 100 students from his Academy will perform alongside professional guest artists (soon to be announced!).
Join the Stahlbaums’ festive party and follow Clara into her dream to witness the magical battle between Soldiers and Rats. Travel along with the mysterious Drosselmeyer through Snowflakes and across the serene Ocean to the Kingdom of Sweets to meet the Nutcracker Prince and the Sugar Plum Fairy. Be enchanted by the colourful and exciting dances of the Candy Canes, Flowers, Arabian, Spanish, Chinese, Smarties and Russian accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s imaginative score.
All the family will enjoy the magic of this traditional winter classic!

Come to the school and watch classes during Winter 2019 Observation Week!
FVAD organizes Observation Days in the Fall and Winter terms, when family and friends are invited into the dance studio to watch their child in class.
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.
There are no 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.
