Raising The Barre Academy

Raising The Barre Academy is a movement and dance studio in Alexandria offering structured, technique-focused training for adults who want to build strength, control and grace through ballet-based work. Set across two large studios with new amenities and a welcoming entrance, the academy blends classical training with a supportive, community-minded approach.

The program spans graded and vocational classical work, open classes, pointe and repertoire, and contemporary movement, with an emphasis on real, academic content and precise corrections rather than a purely commercial experience. Teaching is hands-on and inclusive, giving individual attention so participants of varying experience can progress safely and improve technique over time.

With reformer and mat-based conditioning available alongside the dance work, the studio suits adults wanting to develop posture, core strength, flexibility and body awareness in a focused setting. Clients describe it as great value, professional and genuinely inclusive, with a strong sense of community between classes. Whether you are returning to ballet, starting fresh as an adult, or seeking a disciplined alternative to conventional fitness, Raising The Barre offers serious instruction in a friendly Alexandria studio.
