Vision:

Charlottesville Ballet seeks to create a holistic space for our dancers and choreographers to grow, both as individuals and as a group. We hope to become an integral part of the Charlottesville community by giving ecclectic live performances, collaborating with local artists, and offering community outreach throughout the region of Central Virginia. 

Mission:

Charlottesville Ballet was founded in 2007 to provide a holistic, nurturing, professional environment to showcase both the emotional expression and technical prowess of talented dancers. Few ballet companies consciously wed health and professionalism, yet we feel these two ideas are not mutually exclusive. In the professional ballet world, dancers often suffer from eating disorders to maintain a competitive body weight and sometimes dance on preexisting injuries in order to keep their jobs. Although many of these issues are hidden behind the beauty of the art form, we believe there can be a better, healthier, and more effective approach to professional ballet.
