PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES 

At CSCB, we believe that performing is a vital component of a dancer's artistic and technical development. Our students regularly participate in a wide range of performance opportunities. 

 

From community outreach events and professional competitions to our annual Fall and Spring productions, dancers gain valuable stage experience in both classical and contemporary works. These performances allow students to grow as artists, connect with audiences, and cultivate the confidence for future success. 

Dress Code & Policies

  • CSCB places great emphasis on proper behavior and etiquette in all classes. We expect all students to behave respectfully towards their teachers and peers, to listen carefully and respond appropriately to instructions, and to maintain a positive attitude throughout their classes. By practicing good behavior and demonstrating professionalism, our students create a positive and productive learning environment that enhances their dance experience.

  • We ask that all students arrive on time and are ready to start class at the designated time. If a student is tardy, ballet etiquette requires them to stand in the doorway until the teacher invites them to join class. 

  • If you miss a class, you can make it up in any other class of your level or below, or in any of the conditioning classes. Make-up classes must be made up within 30 days of the missed class to ensure that our students remain on track with their ballet education.
