It’s always nostalgic when we say goodbye to a Spring Seminar. It was an exciting week of learning and admiring the progress of eager, young dancers in the Dance Centre studios.

Watching the Demonstration at the end of the week was joyful as was seeing the dancers’ commitment and the support from their families and friends.

For this 50th Spring Seminar we would like to thank the following people for being part of the Vancouver Ballet Society’s history.

Thank you to: our members and donors; the talented instructors – Patricia Barker and Adrienne Hurd; the Audition adjudicator – Nicola Earl; the guest speakers – Kiri Geen, Jason Beechey, Jane Welsh and Erika Myall; the photographer – Susan Beechey; and the Chair of Spring Seminar for the past 16 years – Sheila Smith.

If you participated, we would love to hear about your experience at vbs@telus.net

We are already looking forward to the VBS Spring Seminar 2026 and can’t wait to see you then!
