From the reviews
Our family loves DAV of Del Ray! My daughter is in the Little Dancers class and I love the way the class is structured! Last year she did dance for the first time at a local recreation center and she wouldn't leave my side. She also told me it was boring, which broke my heart since she LOVES to dance and sing.
The first words that come to mind for DAV are wholesome and high quality. It has truly been a wholesome experience for our daughter, not only receiving high quality instruction from professional dancers, but focusing on the whole body and mind, as well as friendships and confidence.
This was our first time signing up our 4 year old for a full session at Dance Academy Virginia and we couldn’t be happier. My daughter looks forward to class every week and has grown so much in both confidence and skill. The staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly involved with every child.
Your first ballet class at Dance Academy of Virginia
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.
