About this studio
Dancespace is a fully-equipped dance studio in Virginia Beach offering over fifty classes a week across multiple styles and age groups. The studio serves dancers from age 3 through adults, with structured level progression from beginner through advanced. Classes include ballet, pointe, hip-hop, jazz, tap, acro, contemporary, modern, and musical theatre, each with clear age and ability groupings.
The studio operates Monday through Thursday 4pm–8pm, Friday 4pm–7pm, and Saturday (hours vary by season). A performance company within the studio is described as award-winning and is designed for dedicated dancers ready to showcase their skills, offering conditioning, technical training, and personal attention. The studio also runs summer camps featuring music, games, and crafts, and offers additional services including private lessons, gift certificates, closed sessions for groups and organisations, studio rentals, and birthday parties.
Dancespace emphasises community and mentorship. The studio describes itself as a family environment where students are treated as such, with instructors who serve as both teachers and mentors. One former student, Emma Morris, wrote that the studio created "a home away from home, my safe place, and an outlet for whatever I was going through," and that teachers helped her with both dance technique and life challenges.
The studio follows Virginia Beach Public School calendars for weather closures and makes-up classes available if needed. Dress codes are detailed and style-specific, with requirements for hair, footwear, and attire varying by class type. Food, gum, and drinks (except bottled water) are not permitted in the studio. Parents are asked not to enter during class time unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. Tuition is due by the 1st of each month, with late fees applied after the 5th and 15th; monthly rates remain consistent throughout the year regardless of the number of weeks.
