Born out of "Dance On It Studios" in 2020, Vertical Performing Arts is committed to providing excellent, accessible training to children and adults in the performing arts. We are passionate about raising up well-rounded artists who are both skilled technically but also confident in using their talents to impact and communicate with the world around them.
We prioritize forming a personal connection with each our students and families and creating a space where everyone feels like they belong. We recognize that each dancer and each family is unique and desire that each member of our community feels valued and prioritized.
We believe that dance should be available and accessible to all and have a Financial Aid program to help families afford dance classes. We also have a wonderful partnership with Embrace Arts Foundation to ensure that everyone has a space to dance and create no regardless of physical or mental abilities.
We value relationship over performance. We encourage our faculty to spend time each class connecting with the students, allowing them to share their personal struggles and victories and are always available to provide additional support and prayer when needed.
A classical style of dance that focuses on poise, technique, fluidity, and form, providing the foundation for most styles of dance. Students develop more advanced technical skills through barre work, centre exercises, and stretch.
We teach Vaganova Ballet technique with elements of Cecchetti and RAD to offer a fully comprehensive Ballet training experience.
Children start to develop a stronger sense of self, and on top of all of the fun, they begin to make use of long term memory. The goal of this program is to awaken in the children the pleasure of dance movement and body awareness.
Students will improve their listening skills, musicality, focus, and memory, while gaining a greater appreciation of how their bodies move in the space around them.
A part of classical ballet technique in which a dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet. Pointe shoes allow a dancer to distribute the weight load throughout the foot.
