“Virginia Dance Center is an awesome place to dance. All of the teachers are nice, and they all have their own style. There are friendly classmates too. I have danced at other studios before and did the same thing every week, but here we learn something new every class. Working hard in these classes pays off by the time of the recital. Dancing is my favorite thing to do, and I’m glad I get to do it here.” Lauren, age 12, VDC dancer

“My daughter has been at VDC for four years and dancing for almost 13. When she decided it was time to leave her previous studio, she visited a number of others and we let her think it through on her own, one of the first big life decisions she's handled almost completely on her own. Almost as soon as she visited VDC, she knew it would be her new “home” for dance.
This is a studio that offers both discipline and fun with dance. The instructors are very serious in their approach to, and appreciation of, dance and they expect their students to be disciplined and self-controlled, yet they communicate a joy and love of dance that brings fun to the whole experience. The instructors are simply top notch and without exception are marvelous role models.

As a parent, when looking for a new studio, I was concerned about the dance style and costumes for performances. We have been extremely pleased in the choices for both and feel confident in the decisions of the instructors and Ms. Regan concerning appropriate behavior and dress for their dancers. I couldn’t recommend this studio more highly.” Lisa, parent of VDC dancer

“I love to dance at VDC because the teachers are good and they push you to do the best you can. The dancing is hard but it is never above your ability. The teachers will help you if you need help and they won’t get all mad at you if you can’t get a step. All the teachers are good natured and will define where you need to improve and help you.” Maria, age 13, VDC dancer

“When my daughter broke her arm at the end of second grade, her plans for taking gymnastics over the summer had to change. Fortunately, we found Virginia Dance Center nearby and saw they had summer sessions -- perfect for introducing kids who are new to dance or trying new styles of dance. She felt so awkward and self-conscious with her shoulder-to-wrist cast, but soon the great music in her Just Jazz class won her over and had her participating and dancing with all the other kids. She enjoyed herself so much that first summer! Since then, she's continued taking Jazz classes for the past 3 years, loving every class, every costume, and every performance. This summer, she's trying a Ballet class and going to a week-long Musical Theater dance camp at VDC. And of course, she's already looking forward to next year's Jazz classes and performance!” Cara, parent of VDC dancer

“I like dancing at VDC because: 1. the teachers are very encouraging and kind; 2. the studio is new and clean; 3. I can make friends out of school who enjoy the same kind of sport/art as me; and 4. it gives me a chance to compete with other dancers in competitions.” Stephanie, age 12, VDC dancer
