What families & students say
“My daughter's love for ballet has continued to blossom -- she is completely mesmerized by her teachers, as well as the grace and beauty of the older dancers.”
“The instructors are tough and require a lot from the dancers, but they are very kind and encouraging.”
“While Charlotte Ballet delivered an exemplary performance of Johan Inger’s Walking Mad, an innovative exploration of relational barriers, I want to focus on the original works.”
“Charlotte Ballet is a world class company and I encourage you to support them!”
“I would never had pursued a professional dance career and believed in myself if the teachers at the Academy hadn’t believed in and motivated me until I believed in myself too!”
From the reviews
We have tried two other dance schools closer to home before Charlotte Ballet Academy (CBA), as CBA's main location is 50min+ commute for us. Growing up, I danced semi-professionally, so I could immediately see the VERY significant difference in the level of training at CBA for teachers and students. Ms.
Truly, I am shocked at some of these reviews. We have had nothing but a supportive experience. I am not necessarily a helicopter mom, but I am a protective mom. From experience, this studio respects parent concerns, addresses them promptly and professionally (no matter what they are), and follows up.
A Realm of Existence was extraordinary. While Charlotte Ballet delivered an exemplary performance of Johan Inger’s Walking Mad, an innovative exploration of relational barriers, I want to focus on the original works. Dos y Dos y Dos presented one of the most vulnerable expressions of dance I have ever witnessed.
I recently volunteered at the Charlotte Ballet for the current performance of 'Breaking Boundaries.' As a first-time volunteer, it felt good to be among friendly and well-organized staff. I look forward to volunteering in the future. The performance was simply incredible! A must see for sure!
Your first ballet class at Charlotte Ballet
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
