The Half-day Intensive Training Program is one of the most successful programs of its kind in Canada. Today, Pacific DanceArts is truly an international dance institution with students from the USA, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, Holland, Japan, China, and across Canada. Students travel to Vancouver from local places such as Vancouver Island, Interior BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, as well as from across the world, to train specifically with Pacific DanceArts.
In only ten years of operation more than 70 percent of the Half-day Intensive training program students have moved on to professional dance companies around the world in countries including Canada, the United States, Europe, Mexico and Japan. Alumni of Pacific DanceArts are now dancing in such companies as the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Ballet Jorgen, Milwaukee Ballet, Atlanta Ballet, Houston Ballet and CompañĂa de Danza Clásica y Neoclásica de Jalisco in Mexico.
