From the reviews
CBA is a warm, welcoming and supportive dance school. Almost everyone in our family dances now - even this 40-something mommy who had never danced a day in her life. The performance opportunities w/ a professional company are a major plus too... We feel very grateful to have discovered this dance school!
This ballet school... gah, it’s just wonderful. The teachers are wonderful, my 3 year old LOVES going to class and it just warms my heart! I’m so glad we found this gem of a school, we are so thankful!
The nutcracker sweet was absolutely beautiful! The movement was brilliant.i loved the vibrant warmth radiating from the dancers and props.kudos very much so. Im not a frequent show goer but to see such an acclaimed peace be executed so beautifully has absolutely left a lasting impression.thankyou for the show!
My children have learned a ton, not just about dancing, but about being a member of a community, here. The instructors truly care about each dancer's well being and making the experience of dance fulfilling. And, of course, the instruction is excellent.
Your first ballet class at Charlottesville Ballet - 29North
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.
