our mission
Civic Ballet of Volusia County, Inc. (CBVC) D.B.A. Volusia Civic Ballet (VCB)is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization. The company's mission is to promote the art of ballet and to cultivate a community appreciation of the ballet and of all other forms of dance.
VCB is a community organization, bringing choreographers and studio owners from local dance schools to collaborate together and to create a unique experience for the dancers and the audiences. VCB provides children and young adults from throughout the region a chance to perform in a production of the Nutcracker based solely on their talent and level of achievement, regardless of their town or studio affiliation. All roles for the production are cast from audition or by invitation.
The VCB enhances the lives of hundreds of area outreach children by bringing dance to them through our Nutcracker performances and Community Outreach Programs. Some of our partnerships include providing tickets to shows and free dance classes to children from Food Brings Hope, Volusia Foster Care Families, Girl Scouts of Citrus Council, PACE Center for Girls, Title One, and others. The VCB enhances and expands the greater Daytona Beach area's cultural scene while supporting and rewarding our young people's talents and accomplishments.
To continue to serve our community, we added a spectacular two-day spring event, The Festival of Dance, as an additional avenue to promote dance and foster love of the arts to all children in our community. We bring in exceptional Master Guest Instructors in multiple dance genres for master classes and invite the local dance schools to showcase their talent in the Festival performance.
