Will VDV classes run during inclement weather?

VDV follows school district closures for inclement weather. If they are closed or close early, we will be closed. Any bad weather that occurs after school hours or Saturdays will be evaluated and emails will be sent out. All closing info will also be posted on our Facebook page.

The first two closure days per dance year will not be made up. Makeup classes for further closures will be announced once scheduled.

What happens if an instructor is sick?

If an instructor is ill, VDV will attempt to find a sub for the day, which could include an advanced student teacher. If no sub is found, classes will hold a make-up day.
