We provide exceptional, authentic classical ballet and contemporary dance training.
Since 1950, the Virginia Ballet Company has been instilling students with the life skills of self-discipline and self-confidence through rigorous training and performance opportunities. We focus on continuing the rich tradition of classical choreography by instructing our dancers on the history of dance, its pioneers, and its methods of instruction. Please contact us with any questions.
VBC helps everyone to find proper dance classes, programs and support their students to improve themselves. There’s no pressure to follow certain schedules to be a part of a company. They provide flexible agendas to align the expectations. Teachers give equal attention to all students....
