Sometime people see the name Fredericksburg Ballet Centre and think we only do ballet. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sure 27+ years ago we did start as a ballet studio but these days we have many different disciplines. Irish Step Dancing is one of the additions we added a few years ago and has been growing rapidly ever since. You can learn more about what disciplines we offer on our Learn about FBC page. Check out our current class schedule while you are here too.

Because of a music snafu, FBC’s Tap Competition Team had to perform acapella. Instead of panicking, they blew away the judges and received a “High Gold!” and 1st place in their category. Great effort! The Pom team received Gold for their performance. Lyrical Soloist Ixchel Mendez received a “Gold” for her performance to “No Air.”

Lyrical Duo Team of Jessica Cornell & Heather Forrest and Tap Duo Team of Hayley Burton & Sara Rice received “Gold” for their dances.

If you are interested in next year’s FBC Competition Team, there will be a parent’s meeting on Saturday, May 23rd at 1:00-1:45. See the office or your child’s teacher for a handout that contains more info.
