Attire: All students should arrive dressed in their CBA class uniform, tights, and hair pulled back neatly off of the neck and out of the face. Students will put their dance shoes on as soon as they are in the lobby.
Dance Photos: CBA will have a videographer recording the performances. We will put together a private video link of the performances that will be emailed to all families during the summer at no additional cost.
KMS Photography is providing optional individual dancer portraits at the V. Earl Dickinson Theater at PVCC on our First Steps Showcase day on May 10. Any First Steps Division dancers wishing to have photos taken in their class uniform or any 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 slot during your child’s arrival or performance time.
*If you also have a student in one of our other divisions, we will offer separate portrait sign-ups during their Spring Performance rehearsals so that you may have photos taken in costumes.
Attire Donations: Has your child grown out of their class uniform and shoes? Please feel free to drop off any dance attire you wish to donate at our front desk at any time. These donations will then be available for our Chance To Dance scholarship students or students on financial aid that are in need of dance uniforms for CBA classes. Thank you in advance for any donations you can provide for our students!
