After a poor experience at another ballet school in Vint Hill, my three daughters have absolutely loved VA National Ballet. Instructors require attentiveness, give clear and helpful critiques, and show genuine caring. My teens adore their teachers and feel they've learned a great deal. The environment is completely devoid of favoritism or competition; the school is run on respect and it makes a world of difference. The communication and organization are excellent, and I appreciate that both the Managing and Artistic Directors have a strong background and genuine interest in the arts. Highly recommend this school.
