Spring Performance Tickets
All tickets are FREE! Seating is general admission. Tickets must be reserved in advance prior to the performance.
In order for all families to be able to attend, each student’s family is allowed to reserve a maximum of six tickets per show per performing student.
Portrait Information
KMS Photography is providing optional individual dancer portraits during our dress rehearsals (May 27-29) in the lobby of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Performing Arts Center. Any dancers wishing to have photos taken in their costume(s) or attire of their choice may sign up for a mini session via the sign-up link below.
There is no session fee. Photos will be available to view and purchase online after the sessions are completed and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Charlottesville Ballet.
When signing up for a time, please make sure to avoid signing up for a time slot during your child’s arrival or rehearsal time. If you’d like photos in more than one costume, please sign up for one slot per costume.
Schedule Overview
Each CBA class will have a short block of time to practice on stage in costumes throughout the week. Please note: ballet classes may have longer blocks to rehearse short group scenes after their individual class rehearses.
