The Santa Clara Vanguard has expanding outward from the drum and bugle corps activity to offer programs throughout the local community that support the arts and education while continuing to teach the fundamentals of excellence, tradition, and integrity that the Santa Clara Vanguard was founded with over 40 years ago.

VANGUARD COMMUNITY DANCE PROGRAMS

Vanguard Dance Company Vanguard Dance Company (VDC) was created in 1998 by Artistic Director Carol Abohatab, to meld the world of professional dancers with those dancers from the drum corps world. Under the umbrella organization of the Santa Clara Vanguard, which is a performing arts music and dance competitive activity, the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum & Bugle Corps has over 40 years tenure serving the community, and agreed to open its artistic capacity to include the modern dance world.

VANGUARD COMMUNITY AFFILIATED PROGRAMS

Groove Academy of Drumming The Groove Academy of Drumming philosophy is simple — teaching students lifelong lessons that they will be able to take with them wherever they go. Some of these lessons are self confidence, setting goals...working toward those goals...and ultimately accomplishing those goals. These goals not only pertain to the ensembles, but also to the students themselves. The ensemble setting enables students to interact with other students their age allowing them to grow with in themselves at all levels. Helping students learn that they can accomplish anything they put their minds to, makes Groove Academy of Drumming more than just a percussion school.
