The Movement Ballet
The Movement Ballet provides training and performance opportunities for the serious ballet student in eastern Virginia. Our mission is to create versatile and healthy dancers, who strive towards confident technique and evolving artistry. A TMB dancer who plans to enter the performing arts field is ready for pre-professional study and opportunity. TMB seeks to share the magic of classical ballet with the local community, presenting classical repertoire and new works in accessible, affordable productions.
TMB dancers experience the wider world through master classes with guest faculty; seminars with dance professionals; field trips to professional performances; and preparation for ballet scholarship competitions like Youth America Grand Prix and ABC IBC. TMB’s Dancer Support Fund provides small grants to enable dancers to attend auditions and summer intensive training with professional ballet companies.

iDance has instilled so much confidence in Quinn. One of our favorite memories is from 2 years ago when Quinn put on a full 3 minute dance performance for our friends on New Year’s Eve…the teachers and encironment at iDance have given her the confidence to express herself that way and it’s awesome to watch as parents. We are also grateful that iDance has allowed our business to partner with them as a corporate sponsor…iDance continues to empower so many of our community’s youth and we are proud to be a part of that!
