Our Philosophy

To help students develop clean classical technique and good artistic expression while making ballet a fun and positive experience for all.

American ballet dancers can perform many amazing technical feats, but many reach even the professional level without being able to express the emotion or intent of a piece. Artistic expression can help a dancer connect with an audience to make a ballet performance truly magical.

At Charles River Ballet Academy, students of all ages, levels, and abilities receive quality training in a nurturing and fun environment. Artistry is developed along with technique, as students are encouraged to experience the joy of dance at every step of their training.  The CRBA studio is a fun place where students gather to laugh, feel good, and support their friends, all while striving toward new goals in the art of ballet.  We are thrilled to provide a dance home for our students.

Performing is an important and exciting part of a dancer's development.  Through Nutcracker Sweet shows in December and June Workshop Performances at the school year's end, students age 3-18 have multiple opportunities to show the technique they have learned over the year as well as to explore the artistry of dancing before an audience. Students in Class 5-7 also create and perform dances in our annual Young Choreographers Exhibition.  From studio to stage, CRBA is a joyful place to dance and grow within a friendly and supportive community.
