Board of Directors

 Ali Brent

Ali Brent moved to Virginia as a child and grew up in Greene County.  She fell in love with ballet at a young age and trained in Charlottesville at “The Dance Studio” under Nan Rennie and Daphne Sandridge. Ali attended Mary Washington College (now the University of Mary Washington) and was heavily involved in the college’s dance company.  After college, Ali’s dance background and interest in health and wellness led her to become a massage therapist.

Ali later moved to Quantico, VA, where she met her husband while working at the Marine Corps Base.  In 2005, the Brents moved back to Greene County area to raise their family.  Ali and her husband also run an online business, www.USMCSTORE.com, which sells Marine products to military personnel and their families. Ali’s passion for dance, running, and massage therapy have continued to enrich her life and the lives of others. Ali enjoys watching her two daughters develop their love of dance at Charlottesville Ballet Academy and is excited to join the board of directors for Charlottesville Ballet’s 2011-2012 Season.
