Our Services
FIRST STEPS
Ages 3-6 y.o.
A fun and exciting introduction into the world of dance. Through gentle exercises and imaginative movement, students are taught spatial awareness, rhythm, balance, and coordination. The beginnings of ballet terminology are taught, and the great ballets are introduced to children as they dance their way into the stories. Along with class skills, it is important, even at this early stage, to instill the value of kindness and working with one another - planting seeds of camaraderie instead of exclusivity.
UPPER LEVELS/CONSERVATORY
Ages 11 and up
For dancers who seek a high level of dance education and a pre-professional curriculum.
Pointe work is introduced gradually, and movements gain amplitude and speed. Students blend artistry with athleticism and deepen their understanding of the art of both Classical and Contemporary Dance.

Why I Enrolled My Son in Ballet A Father’s
Perspective By John Ennis
As a former high school football player, I never imagined I’d one day be writing about why ballet is one of the best things I’ve done for my son. But here I am, and I couldn’t be more convinced that enrolling him at Richmond Academy of Ballet was one of my best parenting decisions.
