Kim and her team of teachers are awesome! My daughter loves it! They even have an adult class and mother/daughter dance in the recital! I am so glad that we decided to try this new studio. The waiting area is large and has windows to see into the dance studio to watch the dancers. The studio space is big too. The class lengths are longer than what I've seen at the other studio we go to which I like because you seem to get more for your money. We look forward to many years at this dance studio to come!

My daughter had a really bad experience with this dance studio. We were coming from another dance…read morestudio and the instruction was not at the level we were used to. One of the teachers lost her temper and scolded my daughter when her hair came out of her hair band. When my daughter tried to explain, she was told she was being disrespectful and forced to apologize in front of the entire class. My daughter was humiliated. After three weeks, she was so discouraged that she refused to go back. Also, be careful about their refund policy, I cancelled classes on September 25th, but they still billed me for October. When I complained, they refused to give a refund. I ended up paying over $600 for three weeks of classes. It was a really bad experience.

The Latin Ballet of Virginia is a gem in performance, education, and community involvement…read more Performances are top notch in skill and engagement as well as production. Community outreach is entertaining and educational. The professional quality is exceptional. This is first class-quality dance with informed, traditional training and practice with both traditional and contemporary application. It is a joy to watch and frequently involves the audience during community engagement. Annual productions are beautifully conceived and produced and unique in the area. This is local production, but it is the highest level of professionalism and production value. Education through the Latin Ballet is highly skilled with professional dancers and advanced students who are members of the professional company. Classes are taught in both English and Spanish, and both languages are spoken in the halls during and between classes. Students and families are diverse in culture and background, and the sense of community at Latin Ballet of Virginia is the warmest, most caring environment anyone can imagine. The whole organization breathed creativity and nurturing. One only has to do a search for Ana Ines King, the organization's founder and director, to see the elevation of the art form and direction of the Latin Ballet of Virginia. The highly-decorated Director is an expert in her field and first-rate performer, as well as an extremely down to earth and involved in the organization's operations, outreach, and educational programs. Classes are available in multiple formats (Ballet, Salsa, Flamenco, Hip Hop, Jazz) for all ages, including adults. Classical ballet is the Latin format (rather than Russian or French formats most commonly found in Central Virginia), and classes are instructed in both Spanish and English. As a homeschooling family, we appreciate the physical, cultural, and language benefits in the instruction of the courses. I cannot recommend the school of the Latin Ballet of Virginia for immersive instruction. My child loves the classes, the instructors, and the community at the Latin Ballet of Virginia. I've taken a course as an adult and also enjoyed it and learned a lot about the art forms in addition to practical application. Whether enjoying the company's performances or learning through the Latin Ballet of Virginia's school, you will be exposed to the very best of this art form and its cultural and historical importance.

They truly care about the student and will foster their love of dance no matter what. I have friends at other studios that are frustrated with the lack of communication and quality of training they are receiving there but I have always been so impressed with Marianne Kelley's attention to detail and organization. The studio is bright and welcoming as are all of the instructors and students. You feel supported and valued as a dancer. The variety of classes offered are second to none. The atmosphere in the studio is so positive. In a world where negativity is constantly thrown at us and our children I am so grateful to have somewhere to take my kids where they have a sense of belonging. I HIGHLY recommend Marianne Kelley's School of Dance!

Although, I will say, ELLE the house manager (very young girl) could use a teaching on possibly being more friendly. The other staff members from what we can tell are very nice and accommodating. Parking is fine and it is so convenient to the interstate. Wish there was a "senior discount" on the tickets though. Being a senior myself, that would be great. All in all, a wonderful neighborhood venue for theater.

I recently saw their musical production of A Christmas Carol and loved it! It was an inexpensive ticket to their theatre on Hamilton for some great entertainment. It's obvious to me that they work very hard to provide a quality production and these kids have talent! My only other production was a Jason Mraz fund-raising show last year that also included some of the students' accompaniment. Support Sparc!
