Welcome to Charles River Ballet Academy!
Charles River Ballet Academy helps students develop clean classical technique and good artistic expression while making ballet a fun and positive experience for all. Some students dream of a career in ballet and use their training at CRBA as a stepping stone toward that goal. Other students view their ballet classes as a beloved and fun hobby. Whether you have an eager two-year-old, an older child who is a dedicated ballet student, or if you are an adult looking to take ballet, Charles River Ballet Academy has a dance class for you.
Our dance studios provide the children and adults of Needham and surrounding towns with solid technique, an artistic outlet, and fun! We offer classes, including pre ballet and pointe, September-June for age 2-18, as well as adult classes. Summer programs for all ages are in July and August. Our studios are in Needham.
