From the reviews
CBT is the gold standard for ballet instruction in the Reston/Herndon area. The faculty members have demonstrated time and again in the over five years that my daughter has been a student that they genuinely care about her and her success - but more importantly, with her overall welfare.
My daughter has been dancing with ARB since the summer of 2019. I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff and training. The directors are knowledgable, supportive, professional, nurturing, and very approachable.
Formerly CBT, the new owners and directors, Jasmine and Yuri Nikitenko, are continuing the wonderful legacy created here and growing and expanding the program. The amazing and dedicated teachers provide top quality Vaganova ballet training to students of all ages.
We love everything about ARB! The management, the ballet and modern instruction, the professionally delivered performances, and the price! Bravo! Bravo! A quality dance studio with the heart of a dancer!
Your first ballet class at Academy Of Russian Ballet
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.
