Surrey Festival 2016 - Ballet

FVAD Pre-Professional students perform each year at the Surrey Festival of Dance.  While the Academy does not participate in local competitions in general for numerous reasons, the SFD ballet adjudicators are generally former professional dancers from the classical ballet world who are often now teachers at prestigious ballet company schools.  In addition, the entry requirement to perform pre-defined set solos, at each age level, assists in setting a base level of ability for all entries.

The associated scholarship awards are often funded invitations to these ballet company schools.  As such, our students are presenting their art form to an accomplished adjudicator with the potential benefit of furthering their training at an established high-level institution.
