My daughter and I approve of posting her picture. My daughter has attended Ms. Marian’s Dance Garden since she was five. I appreciate this ballet studio for its personal, artistic touch—Ms. Marian and the parents and children decorate beautifully for every recital. I enjoy helping prepare the decorations, and the children have a great time. Ms. Marian is incredibly talented and excellent with kids; the tuition is reasonable and the students learn a lot.
A+++!! I recommend Ms. Marian’s Dance Garden wholeheartedly. My daughter is almost 4 years old and in her second class at DG with Ms. Marian. She looks forward to her class every week. I just started Ballet FIT and am loving it as well. I always wanted dance instruction so this is a great opportunity. Ms. Nika is patient and supportive.
My daughter absolutely loves her time at Ms. Marian’s Dance Garden! The environment is warm, encouraging, and full of joy. Ms. Marian brings out the best in every child—teaching not just dance, but confidence, discipline, and creativity. We’re so grateful to be part of this wonderful dance family!
Our girls have been dancing at Ms. Marian's for 3 years. Ms. Marian and her assistants work so hard to make sure each dancer is seen and grows. The number of performances that the students do throughout the year really prepares them for the final spring recital, as well as general performance/presentation skills from the confidence-building. If you are looking for a neighborhood institution for your young dancer, look no further! I highly recommend scheduling a free trial class!
The Dance Garden is a shining gem of the Richmond. They offer classes for all ages from babies to adults - there's something for everyone! Ms Marian is a wonderful teacher, and the studio is so friendly and welcoming. I hope my children continue dancing here for many years to come. We love the DG!

Where young dancers blossom with joy, confidence, and creativity in every step.
