EXPERIENCE the vibrant world of dance with Goulburn Valley Academy of Ballet (GVAB), a community that has been enchanting lives for over 60 years.

For three and four-year-olds, GVAB offers dance play classes fostering imaginative movement and crucial social skills, preparing these young dancers for school life. From energetic jazz and ballet for seven-year-olds and above to contemporary dance for seniors aged 13 and beyond, GVAB provides a platform for skill elevation and creativity. Adults too can celebrate movement, grace, and joy in tailored ballet classes.

Recently, GVAB hosted a summer intensive program, uniting students for skill-building and lasting connections. Throughout the ballet year, GVAB offers diverse experiences, including conventions, display days, exams, and concerts, bringing the stage to life.

“A lot happens in the ballet year at GVAB! Picture ballet conventions that are an opportunity to access Melbourne studios and teachers, choreographic display days that unfold the magic of creating movement,” said GVAB principal, Melanie Coats.

GVAB welcomes boys to showcase their dance prowess in ballet and jazz classes. All new recruits enjoy a risk-free start with three free trial lessons.

Classes unfold at the Sound Shell in Shepparton, occasionally moving to Queens Gardens for open-air lessons. From Monday to Saturday, the studio hosts sessions for all age groups, culminating in a grand end-of-year concert.
