VPS DANCE TEAM

As we shimmy into our fifth year of the VPS Competitive Dance Teams, we’re beyond excited to welcome you into our vibrant dance family. Whether your child is a returning performer or wanting to step onto the competition stage for the first time, we’re here to nurture each child’s growth, creativity, and love for dance. At VPS, we believe in providing every dancer with a meaningful experience. From customized class schedules to one-on-one check-ins, our goal is to ensure dancers receive the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive and flourish. We also celebrate the individuality each dancer brings—their unique talents and passions are what make our community so special.

Join us for an incredible year full of dedication, artistry, and camaraderie.
