Welcome to Village Dance Arts!
At VDA, we don’t just teach dance -- we show it.
Our instructors are highly trained, active dancers with expertise across ballet, jazz, hip hop, and more. By teaching through clear, physical demonstration, students learn faster, understand movement more easily, and build strong technique with confidence. Seeing the movement come to life in the studio makes all the difference.
VDA proudly welcomes dancers of all ages and levels in an inclusive, supportive environment where growth and progress are celebrated. Every class is fueled by energy, passion, and real-world experience. Whether a dancer is taking their first steps or refining advanced skills, our teachers are fully engaged -- moving alongside students, breaking down technique, and helping each dancer reach their potential.
At the heart of everything, we believe most enthusiastically in the transformative power of dance. Beyond steps and choreography, dance builds confidence, discipline, creativity, and community. Join our dance family and experience training that’s dynamic, inspiring, and designed to help dancers thrive.
Move with us. Grow with us. Dance at VDA.

ABOUT VILLAGE DANCE ARTS
Founded in 1969, Village Dance Arts has been offering excellence in dance education for over fifty years. Rooted in the best of American and European dance traditions, the school is committed to the artistic and physical development of its students. Village Dance Arts' philosophy is founded on the classicism of the Russian, Italian, and French ballet schools, and is enhanced by the versatility of modern movement forms. Under the direction of its late founder Toni Ebell Carrión, Village Dance Arts develops talent in a manner that will ensure a lifetime involvement in, and enjoyment of, dance.
OUR MISSION
It is our purpose to nurture and produce dancers who, by working within their physical limitations, can demonstrate a high level of technical proficiency along with musical awareness, expressiveness, and creativity. It is our goal to provide quality dance training in a positive and supportive environment. Through dance training, we foster self-confidence and discipline in our students, and maintain an atmosphere where students are encouraged to develop to their fullest potential regardless of ability levels.
