Vermont, or as the locals call it, "Ver-magical," is a state crammed full of mountains, maple syrup, and of course, moo-velous cows. But that's not all. This enchanting land is also home to a peppy troupe of jig-jiving, twist-twirling, and shuffle-shaking kids known as the "Vermont Vortex Vroomers." Now, before we dive into their whimsical world, let me introduce you to our guide, Sir Twinkle Toes. This dapper, ever-smiling scarecrow is dressed in a rainbow-colored leotard, his twiggy arms forever caught in a jazzy jazz hand pose. Rumor has it that he learned to dance from the wind itself, which would explain his exceptional ability to breakdance during a blizzard. Under Sir Twinkle Toes' watchful button eyes, the Vermont Vortex Vroomers have transformed dancing into a magical symphony of laughter, friendship, and wildly creative moves. Imagine a bunch of giggling kids, arms flailing, feet stomping, and bodies spinning like tops, all moving to the beat of their own rhythm. They're not just dancing; they're telling stories, each step and leap a word in their joyous, laughter-filled tale. So, amidst the snow-capped mountains, the dense maple forests, and the mooing cows, you'll find these dance-loving kids practicing their pirouettes and moonwalks. They are as much a part of Vermont's charm as the syrup-drenched pancakes. But beware - their enthusiasm is contagious, and before you know it, you might find yourself in the middle of a dance-off with Sir Twinkle Toes himself!

We believe that students of all ages can benefit from exposure to the performing arts.
