What a great group of talented, hardworking dancers, and teachers, Fredericksburg Academy of Ballet in Virginia! That was wonderful to visit, and do exclusive Siberian Swan pointe shoe fitting and master class. Thank you all who helped to organize this event!
Quality.Class.Distinction. The Academy of Ballet is a World Class Studio that creates *MAGIC* for children through dance,music, grace and love. The Academy of Ballet sets world class standards, and it emanates beauty with everything they teach.
Our daughter attended Academy for 10 years. She was accepted into The Joffrey Ballet Company as a trainee. I believe the teaching she received at the Academy prepaired her for a professional career of ballet.
Your first ballet class at Academy of Ballet Ltd
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
