Virginia National Ballet: Best of Prince William 2022

VNB is located in a beautiful 5400 square foot facility in Manassas/Bristow with three large, bright studios and a music studio. 

Students receive outstanding instruction and have the wonderful opportunity to perform in VNB’s annual Nutcracker productions and the Spring Recital, and they may audition to perform in some of Virginia National Ballet’s company productions performed in theaters around the State of Virginia. Advanced pre-professional students can audition for the Junior Company. All students have the benefit of studying in a vibrant atmosphere with an immensely talented group of outstanding, international professional dancers and teachers who are also caring and nurturing.

VNB has invited famous guest artists to dance in productions and give master classes. Artists who have graced our stage include Daniil Simkin, Isabella Boylston, James Whiteside (all Principal Dancers with American Ballet Theater); Ashley Bouder, Teresa Reichlen, and Ask la Cour (all NYC Ballet Principal Dancers), Aaron Smyth (Royal Ballet, Joffrey Ballet), Aria Alekzander (Houston Ballet, America’s Got Talent), Nour Eldesouki (Munich, Dresden, Essen and Cairo Ballets), Carolina Boscán (Essen, Leipzig Ballets), and more. The world premieres of Rafik Hegab’s Aida, Aladdin, Beatles, Bohemian Rhapsody, Bolero, Carmina Burana, Carmen, Cinderella, Collection, For those we lost, La Boheme, Life in the Fast Lane, Snow White, and Tango Nights received rave reviews, and the annual Nutcracker performances are a holiday favorite in Northern Virginia.

With the excellent administration, faculty, facility, education, performances, and smoothly run, family atmosphere, Virginia National Ballet is a wonderful place to immerse yourself in the arts!
