First Steps/Storybook Ballet students are NOT required to wear tights for class, however they will need tights for the CBA Showcase & Spring Performance!
No jewelry is permitted in class; only small stud earrings may be worn. Students are not permitted outside of the CBA building without street shoes on and clothes worn over dancewear.
*PLEASE NOTE: There is no required dress code for Session Classes, Satellite Classes or CBA Summer Classes/Camps. Students should wear any dance attire and the needed dance shoes for these classes.

Has your child grown out of their CBA class uniform and shoes? We are excited to announce our partnership with our neighboring store, Kid to Kid! We now have a Chance To Dance (C2D) Account at Kid to Kid where you can drop off any dance attire you wish to donate (or make a monetary donation) and be sure to tell their staff you’d like to put the store credit on “Charlottesville Ballet’s C2D Account”. This account will then be available for our Chance To Dance scholarship students in need of dance uniforms for CBA classes. Thank you in advance for any donations you can provide for our students!
