Ballet Virginia is committed to spreading the joy of dance throughout our community.
Ballet Virginia dancers and faculty have performed at fundraisers, visited public libraries and performed and taught at local schools in an effort to share the joy of dance. We also offer student matinees of “The Nutcracker” each season which allows students from all over the region to see a full-length ballet.
The Excellence Project
In partnership with the Sandler Center Foundation and in collaboration with Virginia Beach City Public Schools Gifted Programs, The Excellence Project offers dance training/lessons, access to professional dancers, and equipment at selected Virginia Beach Title 1 public schools.
In School Performances
Ballet Virginia brings the beauty of diversity, equity, and inclusion into school with “Shades of Dance”. This in-school performance showcases the vibrant and diverse ballet scene happening right here in Hampton Roads. The one hour, interactive program combines storytelling with live performance, featuring our professional ballet company. Our area’s finest ballet community members will be on hand to answer your questions at the end of the program.

Library Programs
In an effort to reach out to the community, Ballet Virginia has created a library program that connects literacy to the art of dance. We have presented programs at both the Norfolk Public Libraries and Virginia Beach Public Libraries
We offer various programs to fit the needs of the participants and library space. The program is very flexible and can be themed around a certain ballet or event such as Black History Month.
