Aspiring dancers need to be prepared for the challenges and demands of a professional career, while successfully completing their academic education. The Academy’s commitment to developing a well-balanced and educated dancer is reflected through our Academic/Ballet Program. In 1987, Goh Ballet pioneered the first integrated half-day academic program to allow students the opportunity to continue school studies and professionally train simultaneously.

The program combines an academic curriculum provided by Vancouver School Board secondary schools with intensive professional dance training. It also offers students aged 13 to 18 the opportunity to complete the academic requirements for graduation and post-secondary entrance. This combined academic/ballet program is suitable for high-achieving, artistically motivated students who are seriously committed to both academic education and dance training with approximately 25 hours of dance class/rehearsals each week.

Goh Ballet Academy believes in assisting families who are in need of financial aid as well as rewarding students with artistic merit and achievements. Applications for scholarships and financial assistance are accepted from Senior Professional School students who have been enrolled for at least one year. Extensive evaluations are conducted by the Academy’s Director and Artistic Staff prior to making decisions on recipients and awarded scholarship amounts.

Those requesting scholarships or financial assistance who fall outside of the above mentioned criteria are welcome to contact us with any questions. However, we ask that families respect our policies as exceptions are rarely made.

The health and safety of our students, staff and community are of the utmost importance to us at Goh Ballet. We follow and adhere to all provincial government and health authority guidelines. Health/safety protocols are in place. Self-screening prior to arrival and on-site screening upon entry is requested. We are committed to actively monitoring and updating our solutions to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all our students, families, faculty, pianists, and staff.
