Classes begin at 9am for Musicals Camps, Tiny Tots Camp and Ballet Intensives.
Classes begin at 12pm for our Junior Ballet Workshop.

The school and office will be open by 8:15am daily

Please visit the office if you have any questions, need to make a payment or purchase any dance wear.
If you have not already paid your summer tuition, please do so before your first class.

Students should be at the school 10-15 minutes before class in order to have time to prepare for their first class.

New families – please come to the office in our main building and we will give you a welcome tour first. 🙂

Please remember to pack healthy snacks, water bottles and a healthy lunch (for those with us all day)

Always avoid sugary drinks & processed foods as they will not give you the proper nutrition or energy you need for your day!
Don’t forget your cutlery if you are bringing food that needs a spoon or fork.
Please avoid bringing nuts to the school as there are students and staff with severe nut allergies.
We have filtered water stations at each studio, a water-bottle filling station, two fridges, and a microwave.

Dress codes in summer are more casual than the school year.

Please view our dress codes (https://fvad.ca/classes/class-dress-codes/)Scroll to the bottom of that page for summer session information).
Musicals Camps:
- Please wear comfortable, but not-too-baggy clothing so teachers can properly see movement and breathing.
- ONLY clean indoor shoes, jazz shoes or other dance shoes are permitted in the studio.
- Socks or bare feet are acceptable, but shoes are preferred.
- Shoes worn outside must not be worn inside the studio.
