From the reviews
Ballet Virginia has been the perfect place for introducing our little one to dance. We started the Dance With Me class shortly before her 2nd birthday and it was a great way to present a structured environment of fun. We stayed enrolled through the covid shut down and participated in Zoom classes.
My daughter has been training the BV for five years and had been driving to Norfolk from VA Beach several times a week. We were so excited when the Beach location opened last year! It is wonderful to have excellent instructors so close to home. We appreciate BV and all they do for the arts and dancers.
My daughter loves dancing at Ballet Virginia!! She took summer classes and fell in love with the place so we registered for the up coming year. Her teachers were great and were very dedicated to helping her.
My daughter has been dancing with Ms. Kaity for about a year and loves it! She has learned confidence, social skills, and of course ballet skills. I highly recommend this studio! We love Ballet Virginia!
Adult ballet at Ballet Virginia - Virginia Beach
Ballet Virginia - Virginia Beach runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Ballet Virginia - Virginia Beach
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.
