MOHAWK VALLEY DANCE THEATRE

About Us
Our studio was founded in 2001 by Director, Shanna Becker. At our heart, we are a school for classical Ballet. Our mission is to inspire and educate students in dance and many other styles of performance art, with a sound technical foundation in Ballet methodology, and a focus on artistry and expression. Our ballet classes primarily utilize the Russian Vaganova method, with some principles from the French school, Cechetti and Bournonville methods, and American [Balanchine] and English styles explored.

Recital Information
Our season involves two performances annually; with a winter production of "Clara's Dream" held in December, and a spring recital held in May or June.

The Company at MVDT is an audition-based program for dancers from age 7 to adult who create engaging performance opportunities for our community. For more information, please e-mail our director.
