VMFA After 5 Fridays Dance after work; Waltz with Fred Astaire Dance Studio (FREE)

About this event

After 5 Fridays is the perfect way to kick off the weekend. Relax with a beverage, visit the galleries for an art escape, and take part in the evening’s featured attraction.

This is your invitation to move, connect, and have fun—no experience needed! Polina Kravchuk of Fred Astaire Dance Studios Richmond will lead guests through the timeless beauty of waltz, a dance known for its graceful movement, soft rotation, and elegant partnership. This lesson captures the Impressionist world of light, color, and social dancing to help guests feel the joy of moving together.

Polina is known not only as a decorated professional, but also as a beginner specialist for her encouraging teaching style and ability to make ballroom dance feel both approachable and special.

Whether you are brand new to dance or simply ready for a beautiful evening at the museum, this experience offers a chance to step onto the floor with confidence, connection, and a little bit of Parisian charm.

This event is part of our After 5 Fridays program series.
