The SRVDA Dance Companies have received national recognition for their talent, technique, training, and performing abilities.  The diversity and depth of SRVDA dancers are apparent with those who participate in multiple companies; they are able to transform from beautiful ballerinas, dancing an intricate variation from "Paquita," to dancers turning it up with the latest styles of hip hop and funk!  The creative talents of the artistic directors are unsurpassed, and their choreography is amongst the most innovative seen at major dance competitions today.  There are currently three company divisions at the Academy which include the following disciplines:

• Senior Ballet Company - Artistic Director, Holly Morrow
