The SRVDA Dance Companies have received national recognition for their talent, technique, training, and performing abilities.  The diversity and depth of SRVDA dancers is 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 Directors, Gayle Farley & Holly Morrow

• Senior Jazz Company - Artistic Directors, Jennifer Burgardt & Ally Zwahlen

• Senior Tap Company - Artistic Director, Gregg Geoffroy    

• Junior Ballet Company - Artistic Directors, Gayle Farley & Holly Morrow

• Junior Jazz Company - Artistic Director, Jennifer Burgardt

• Junior Tap Company - Artistic Director, Megan Ivey

• Apprentice Ballet Company - Artistic Director, Jan Manning

The goals for the companies are

• to guide students to strive for excellence through discipline and hard work

• to provide a performing outlet to talented students

• to develop performance skills, self-confidence, and a sense of accomplishment through the medium of dance.

The Academy is also home to the adult performing group, "Just For Kicks;" this talented group of dancers brings audiences to their feet, wowing them at every show!
