From the reviews
Tucked away in a quiet corner, only ten minutes from Town Center, is the most amazing ballet training we’ve ever experienced. The director of Virginia Beach Ballet Academy, Ana Maria Martinez, with her Cuban ballet roots, comes from a long line of ballet greats; but Ms.
My daughter absolutely loves her ballet class here! Ms Anna is patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping each child grow in both skill and confidence. The classes are structured yet fun, and it’s been wonderful to see her progress while still enjoying every moment.
We switched my daughter to VBBA from another well known studio, and I must say it's fantastic! Her ballet growth, performance and elegance has improved so much thanks to the teachings from Mrs. Aa Martinez. This is a fine tuning and great introduction to ballet from all experienced levels. Highly recommend!
Absolutely the best Classical Ballet Studio in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Ms. Ana Maria Martinez who was herself, classically trained by her mother a Cuban National Ballet dancer and whose uncle was influential as co-director of ABT in NYC, gave her the foundation of her teaching career.
Your first ballet class at Virginia Beach Ballet Academy
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.
