“Elyse Tapper Cardon began her professional dance career with Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia, in the early 90’s and soon discovered her secondary passion: the art of teaching and coaching. This led her to open Axiom-The Pilates Center of Virginia in Chambord Commons, one of the first Pilates studios in Hampton Roads. She soon discovered a new talent and love for lifestyle photography, and added her business, Sweet People Photography®, to her growing list of achievements.
Elyse Tapper Cardon has returned full circle to the Richmond Ballet, serving as Chair of the Richmond Ballet Hampton Roads Advisory Council, as well as a dance repetiteur for the Norfolk cast of The Nutcracker.”

Queen of Virginia Skill and Entertainment disagrees with the position of the Commonwealth Attorney in Charlottesville that our machines are gambling devices and therefore violate state law. Before Queen of Virginia brought the first terminal to the Old Dominion more than two years ago, our attorneys and compliance personnel met with Commonwealth Attorneys in a host of localities including Charlottesville to show them that our games are predominantly skill based and therefore legal.
