Studio Facilities

In July 2008, BalletNova Center for Dance moved into a beautiful 20,000 square foot studio facility in Falls Church, Virginia.  Located at 3443 Carlin Springs Road, the new space sits at the crossroads of Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church City and Fairfax.

Studios

There are four fully equipped state-of-the-art dance studios. Built with Harlequin Liberty panel sprung sub flooring and non-slip vinyl overlays, each of these spacious studios has a wall of mirrors, double barres, 16-foot ceilings, and sound systems. The fifth, Studio E, has a raised floor, vinyl overlay, mirrors, and portable barres.

  • Studio A (864 square feet)
  • Studio B (864 square feet)
  • Studio C (1664 square feet)
  • Studio D (2016 square feet)
  • Studio E (1490 square feet)

The sixth studio, Studio F, is currently unfinished (awaiting additional fundraising) and at 50' x 50' is the largest space.  Future plans include turning it into a studio/performance space with seating for 150.

Studio F:

Space for All

Parents and friends can wait comfortably for their dancers in the Community Room, which has tables, chairs, and healthy snacks in the Yo Naturals vending machine. 

A Conference Room/Library is used for meetings and for video study on the large-screen TV (and can also be used for homework).

 

Boys and Girls have ample dressing rooms, and Adult Ladies have a separate dressing room of their own.

Donors are honored by a listing on the beautiful new Benefactor Wall display, immediately visible when entering the lobby.  A covered portico outside the front door keeps young dancers safe while they wait for parent pick-up.

Artistic and Administrative

There is a large, very organized Costume Room which houses all BalletNova's costumes and accessories.  The Teacher's Lounge is furnished with a dressing area, refrigerator, shelves, comfy couch and table.  Private offices for the Artistic Director, Executive Director and Operations Manager work well for small meetings and confidential parent conferences.

Parties!

Off to the right of the lobby is the Party Room, which is used for Birthday Parties and crafts projects.  Studio F has also been a popular place for large parties, and can be rented for weddings, anniversaries, and other special events.

Special thanks to architect Paul Solon, realtor John Duffy, plus Brendan Solon, Alan Okopinski, John Reich, Javier Del Aguila, and Alex Travis for their assistance in making this dream a reality.
