We offer dance + performing arts classes for kids and adults within the Vernonia community. Vernonia Ballet + Performing Arts is committed to providing fun, safe, and artful physical activity to all.
WHAT IS BALLET? Ballet is a theatrical form of dance, originating from the 15th century. It is often used to tell a story and helps to teach coordination, balance, discipline. Our ballet dancers learn various positions, movements, and more that help tell that story,
WHAT IS PERFORMING ARTS? Performing arts is multi-faceted. Drama, theater, music, and dance are all a part of performing arts. This class helps to tell our centers chosen story by using words, voice, and movement.
LOCATION -- All classes are held at the Vernonia Grange hall, located at 425 North St.
CLASSES -- More information below for ages groups, etc. We do ask that all classes be students only; approved guardians/parents are welcome to watch class the 1st class of each month. We have found that visitors are often distracting to the littles, and we appreciate your support in this!
**Please bring a water bottle to class; there is not potable water onsite at the Grange. In the cooler months it can get chilly, you are welcome to wear leg warmers and a non puffy jacket/sweater.
