Teaching is our passion. SVAD students are our pride and joy.
Here, dance is more than a hobby. It is a joy, a passion, and a craft. An artful expression. An emotional and physical release. For some, dance even becomes a profession.
Since purchasing the school from Susan Cooper in 1984, SVAD has built a reputation for providing consistently high-level dance instruction. We take great pride in the talents and qualities of our faculty, choreographers, and students. Leading by example, our dance teachers model the dance skills and life skills that develop our students into excellent dancers and well-rounded human beings. Together, we learn patience, respect, and compassion. We foster positive attitudes and inspired mindsets. Many students pursue careers as professional dancers, choreographers, and dance teachers, and all students leave with a love of artful movement, cultivated by a school that prioritizes the joy that can be found through dance.
SVAD proudly maintains affiliation and certification through the nationally-renowned Dance Educators of America (DEA), and Shelly Whan holds the position of DEA’s Director at Large.
Dansations, our performance and competitive team, receives national recognition from DEA, as well as other dance companies and organizations.

Ride the wave with SVAD's competition & performance company, DANSATIONS, as you enjoy their performance of Disney's "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride." These talented young dancers had the opportunity to train under the direction of two of Disney's top choreographers and musical artists, learning a rendition of the choreography, staging, & music, along with recording their own voices to complete this showcase....all in just 90 minutes!
