DESCRIPTION OF EXCELLENCE

Our mission is to equip students with spiritual, artistic, academic, and technical excellence in dance in order to reclaim the arts as an expression of God’s love among the varied cultures of the world. Students learn about the art of dance in a Christian context with strong focus placed on technical and creative excellence as well as an understanding of choreography, exceptional performance styles, physiology, anatomy and nutrition.

DISTINCTIVE EXPERIENCE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Three fully-produced dance performances are presented each year to the surrounding community and VCHS students, staff and faculty. The Fall dance performance, Emerge feature original choreography by faculty and guest artists which are complemented by professional costuming and production design, often also featuring live accompaniment for select repertoire. The Spring and Senior dance performance, Emotions features original student choreography mentored by faculty. This unique platform offers students the chance to collaborate with their peers in the Dance Division while also opening an avenue to individual expression and creativity. Additional choreographic opportunities may also be available to all students upon request and availability.

VIVID DANCE TEAM

Advanced students may audition for our award-winning competitive dance team.

Dance courses can be repeated for credit if promotion to next level is not granted by the instructor.
