Victoria Academy of Ballet

I have very close friends that had a terrible experience with this school. My friends were expelled in a very unfair way, and without any opportunity for dialogue. The school also threatened the students to leave Canada in two weeks after they were expelled. Some of the students were even kicked out of home stay, leaving them without home, even though they were minors at the time and had nowhere to go.It’s so disappointing that the school allowed something like this to happen.

Stop taking advantage over international students, they deserve an apology!

What a shame to be an institution that discriminate international students, YOU SHOULD PUBLIC APOLOGIZE.

very professional dance school, with the best of the best dance instructors. nothing but positive experiences here!

Don't believe any of the reviews from 4 months ago which are mostly written by begrudged former students and their close acquaintances. And they say nothing of the actual quality of Victoria Academy's Ballet's programs. The instruction and education of this institute speaks for itself by the quality of the dancers they produce.I recently watched a contemporary piece of theirs that was on par if not better than some of the professional ballet company shows I've seen. This school consistently produces incredible dancers that displayed a very deep knowledge and execution of ballet.

Had a wonderful experience in Adult Beginner Ballet. Everyone should try this class. So fun!

A positive and encouraging environment with the highest standards for dance education. Faculty are among the best trained in Canada and nurture each child to reach their potential as dancers. The life lessons learned through dance education transfer to life experience and children of all ages feel welcome in this happy and positive environment.

Teachers are so kind and very professional. I love how teachers challenge students and making their technique flawless.

I’ve supported VAB studentsfor 17 years, first in language instruction and more recently through homestay. I was surprised to see some 0-1 star reviews here and understand this to be the result of a campaign by some international students whose behaviour led to them losing their scholarships. I’ve only ever seen extreme care and consideration given to their international students.Ms Bellis’ focus is always on individualized care and support with the student’s long term wellbeing front of mind. The quality of instruction is exceptional. I’ve seen students make huge strides even over the summer when they participate in intensives and their performance shows are amazing. The high calibre contemporary and classical ballet instruction is also seen in domestic and international competition standings, as well as in the careers of their graduates. Last but not least, they must have the most beautiful dance facilities anywhere in their custom built premises!

Amazing school for dance of all genres and genders. It is a privilege to have my daughter learning from the best. Thank you!
