More Than a Dance Studio
Richmond Urban Dance is a community-centered dance studio in Richmond, VA, where all styles and skill levels are welcome. Founded in 2015, we use movement as both art and ministry—empowering individuals through inclusive classes, scholarships, and outreach.
We make dance accessible to everyone and empower individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
We welcome everyone ages 2 to 70+, from beginners just looking to have fun or learn, to advanced dancers ready to train and grow. Whether you're exploring movement for the first time, a youth dancer dreaming big, or a seasoned performer aiming for the stage, we have space for you.

the family-like culture and support my daughter receives there is beyond anything I’ve experienced
I cannot tell you how thankful I am for this place. Not only is the instruction top-notch, but the family-like culture and support my daughter receives there is beyond anything I’ve experienced at other studios. Cannot recommend RUD highly enough!

i felt so inspired and hungry for more
I started Rud about three years ago and
i immediately fell in love and started going every class i could. it was my first hip hop class and surprisingly instead of feeling discouraged by the new style, i felt so inspired and hungry for more. The teachers, the students, the mission, and now, the location of RUD is something every dancer should experience and i promise they’ll never wanna leave.

i always feel welcomed and never judged for my skill level!
RUD is SUCH an uplifting place to dance and meet kind, energetic, talented people. I am a inexperienced dancer nearing middle aged and always feel welcomed and never judged for my skill level! Generally just a friendly community and legitimately fun/challenging environment too.

RUD is such a blessing in this community
RUD is such a blessing in this community. If you have ever wanted to try dancing, you won’t find a more friendly and welcoming environment to do it in. Can’t say enough great things about this place and it has really become my new home and family since moving to the area.
