Vermillion Area Dance Organization

About Vermillion Area Dance Organization

Founded in 2011 by a passionate group of parents, the Vermillion Area Dance Organization (VADO) was created to offer dance instruction to the Vermillion community. Starting with just thirty-five students and four instructors, VADO has blossomed into a vibrant hub for dance education, now serving over two hundred students across various styles including Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop, Jazz, and more.

Our Journey

Initially held in the basement of City Hall, VADO quickly outgrew its humble beginnings. Thanks to the generosity of Sanford Hospital, VADO moved into a repurposed medical building, where dedicated volunteers transformed the space into a welcoming dance studio. By 2016, the organization had expanded significantly, necessitating a move to a larger facility at 13 E. Cherry Street, also built largely by volunteers.

Community Impact

VADO is committed to providing dance instruction and performance opportunities to individuals of all ages, abilities, and income levels. The organization fosters creativity and self-expression through dance, enriching the lives of community members and promoting engagement through the arts.

Why Donate?

Your contributions to VADO help ensure that dance education remains accessible to everyone in the community. Donations support the expansion of classes, the hiring of qualified instructors, and the maintenance of the studio, allowing VADO to continue its mission of promoting creativity and community engagement.
