Overall, the course encompasses seven different seasons throughout the year, with approximately 30-40 performances, plus workshops and interstate performances.
In addition, VSB offers the Senior Programcatering to students 15–18 years old who are embarking on a professional career in dance whilst completing their academic studies. The students have access to tailored coaching and steady performance opportunities.
