Chester Valley Dance Academy offers students the opportunity to perform Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Lyrical and Hip Hop at the advanced level across the region. Our specialty Company Classes stress performance skills and advanced dance techniques within weekly classes. Middle and High School students may audition to join one or more of our Company Groups.  Special performing groups of younger students are formed to continue their training at a higher level to guide them into the appropriate company group.

To prepare our Company students in a career in dance, Chester Valley often brings in guest choreographers to work with our students to introduce them to new styles of teaching and dance technique.  Our guest Choreographers and Instructors provide valuable experiences to our students by providing fresh routines and feedback to our students.  We offer students access to the top industry experts within their weekly class setting, as well as special pop up master classes throughout the year.  Our yearly summer intensive offers our Company Students a week immersed with industry professionals to learn all they have to offer.  Company students have numerous opportunities throughout the year to attend conventions for a chance to learn from multiple master instructors in one weekend.

To facilitate a sense of unity within our Company levels, we implement the CVDA Sibs program that pairs an older dancer with a younger dancer to bring the different levels of dancers closer together. Throughout the year, siblings will support each other by going to their Company performances and competitions since not all company groups attend the same events.  Some siblings show support by placing secret notes in one another’s dance bags for words of encouragement and others show support by bringing a small snack to their sibling on their “long dance night”.   The CVDA Company includes a number of nurturing Seniors who lead by example, spreading kindness and positivity throughout the group.
