Former VBS Scholarship Winner, Danielle Gould taught a Master Class on April 30, 2023, and it was AMAZING! Having received her training from the National Ballet School of Canada, Pro Arte, and the Goh Ballet Academy, and being a Former Demi Soloist and Corps de Ballet with the Hungarian National Ballet, and a Former Performer with The House of Dancing Water by Franco Dragone – she beautifully shared her passion and love for movement and dance with the dancers, and we honestly didn’t want the Master Class to come to an end! Thank you to all the familiar and new faces who attended.
We welcomed Cynthia Harvey and Christian Canciani with open arms on March 12th as they landed in Vancouver, and since then, it was another one for the books! This year, 50 dancers were accepted in the Spring Seminar and 14 of them were selected by the teachers to receive scholarships to support their further dance training. The total amount of scholarships given out this year was $21,250, thank you for all VBS supporters and generous donors. As well as the scholarships, every dancer walked out of this seminar a winner! The value that the teachers have individually given to the students, and the connections and friendships that they created during this one-week intensive were precious. Spring Seminar 2023, a success indeed.
Crystal Costa’s Master Class on February 5th was such a delight to watch! The students benefited from her attention and focus on their ballet technique, she gave them tips and tools to remain graceful while having fun and enjoying their craft. Thank you to all the members who attended!
