Our approach

Rooted in Ballet. Blossoming in Every Art Form.

A school with room for you

Kind Humans, Confident Dancers.

Viv'Art began as Nina Monteiro Ballet School in 2014. Today, the academy brings that same personal welcome to dancers across three communities, from a child discovering rhythm to an adult finding their way back to movement.

Come for the technique. Stay for the confidence, connection, and the joy of getting a little more at home in your body.

Why Viv'Art

A good place to begin.

01

Open to all

Beginners, returning dancers, and experienced pupils all have a place here.

02

Ages welcome

There is no single “right” age to start. We make space for the whole family.

03

Strong foundations

Cecchetti-rooted teaching builds clarity, musicality, and adaptable technique.

04

Human scale

Personal attention and a kind community make progress feel possible.

The Viv'Art feeling

Growing kind humans, one class at a time.

We care about how dancers feel as much as how they move. That means patient teaching, clear foundations, and a studio culture where curiosity is more useful than perfection.

Inside the studio

The best part of a class is rarely the perfect picture. It is the concentration, laughter, and growing confidence in between.
