Live Theater
Performances are an important part of a dancer’s training. Live performances give dancers an opportunity to learn choreography, to work with other dancers to create patterns on the stage, and even to act! Dancers of the Vacaville Ballet Company School will have several opportunities for live performances each school year, including The Nutcracker and an end of the year recital.
