From the reviews

As our dance instructor for 10 years, my wife and I have come to know Daria Zotova, Loudoun School of the Arts owner, quite well. I can predict her school will provide the absolute best in whatever it is one decides to learn there. Daria is so, so talented!

★★★★★ — Leanna, Aug 2025

I cannot say enough good things about Loudoun School of the Arts and about Daria and Kirill. I’ve had the privilege of knowing them and their family for almost three years. I have seen firsthand their love, joy, and passion for dance, the arts, and most of all their students.

★★★★★ — Emily, Aug 2025

I've worked with Daria and Kirill for a long time, and they are absolutely fantastic. Both are some of the best ballroom dance teachers I've ever worked with: they have an extensive knowledge of dance, and yet keep all lessons fun and engaging.

Your first ballet class at Loudoun School of the Arts

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
