ABOUT Our School …the place to study Vonder Haar Center for the Performing Arts offers professional and pre-professional classes in a variety of performing arts disciplines to students of all ages – toddler to adult professional. We are dedicated to fostering talent and developing young artists. Our philosophy is that all of our students should be held to the same high standards, and those who do not aspire to careers in the performing arts should not be penalized by less than professional training. If you want a baby-sitter this is not the place. If you want excellent instruction from professionals in their fields (from Broadway, New York City Ballet, Dusseldorf Ballet, Joffrey…). in an atmosphere that is disciplined yet fun, creative and non-competitive then this is the place to study. The Vonder Haar Center for the Performing Arts offers classes – for students age 3 to adult - in ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, acting, voice, musical theatre and Pilates. There are many opportunities here for personal and artistic growth; multiple performance opportunities throughout the year, study/performance trips both here and abroad, and the chance to develop in a company environment. Vonder Haar Center proudly boasts ballet, tap, theatre and musical theatre companies. Whatever your talent, this is the place to study. Our Resident Companies Supported in part by Vonder Haar Performing Arts Vonder Haar is home to eight resident companies which allows for students in different disciplines to develop their talents and to hone their performing skills. The Senior, Junior, and Youth Ballet Companies allow the advanced ballet dancers, the intermediate students, and younger aspiring ballerinas the opportunity to develop and perform throughout the year. They participate in two major ballets and our February Arts Festival each year, as well as performing at various other venues. The Musical Theatre Ensemble presents at least two mounted shows per year in addition to other outside performances. These triple threats performed in Hong Kong in July, 2007.
