Poise, Confidence and Respect
Training The Next Generation Of Dancers And Artists
Under the artistic direction of Maryanne Kodzis and Thomas Vacanti, Pioneer Valley Ballet is dedicated to providing all children with the opportunity to experience the joys of movement through the study of classical ballet.
PVB is dedicated to providing exceptional ballet training from day one. PVB’s classically-trained, professional faculty have danced with premier companies and universities such as Julliard Dance Ensemble, Ballet X, Ballet Florida, Colorado Ballet, Connecticut Ballet Theater, Jacob’s Pillow, the University of Massachusetts, and Dean College, among others. Our students have danced with prestigious companies like NYC Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Miami Ballet, Ballet X, and more. Whether or not children aspire to professional dance careers, the exercises and teaching styles used in ballet classes create strong, healthy students who develop poise, confidence, respect and self-esteem.
Training at PVB
At PVB, we believe that ballet is accessible for people of all ages, genders, body types, and backgrounds. Our classes support the development of creative thinking, problem solving skills, and the expansion of imaginative reach. As part of the PVB community, our students gain a sense of membership in a vibrant arts community and become responsible citizens and leaders who support the arts.
