The Latin Ballet of Virginia was founded in 1997 in Richmond, Virginia under the direction of Ana Ines King, a native of Colombia, South America. LBV is a professional dance company and school of dance, providing multicultural dance programs, teaching and performing for a diverse community. The Company is central Virginia's pre-eminent Hispanic dance company, performing throughout the State and at select venues in North and South America. It was incorporated as a 501(c) 3 organization in 2000. 

From the passionate fury of flamenco to tango’s forbidden heat, the polished elegance of classical ballet to the earthen power of modern dance, the Latin Ballet of Virginia uses the expressive beauty of movement to weave the tales and traditions that are the heart and soul of Hispanic culture. The Latin Ballet of Virginia (LBV) combines technical excellence with a soulful depth of emotion and an unwavering commitment to education, diversity and accessibility.

The Latin Ballet of Virginia's mission is to create and strengthen connections to Hispanic/Latin American cultures through innovative and immersive dance-inspired education and performances that affect positive and sustainable change in people’s lives. The company fulfills this mission by increasing access to the arts for low-income families; providing culturally diverse performances and classes; helping prepare "at risk" Hispanic and minority children for success in our community; and touring our professional performances and educational programs internationally, nationally, and locally.
