Uniquely CDS

Dance is a “performance” art and, therefore, performance opportunities are essential to students’ training. It allows the development of childrens’ artistry and confidence enabling them to excel in the art of dancing.

What makes CBTB Academy performance opportunities unique is the type and quality of performances offered to your child. From large to small, from community to professional, the Academy performances put emphasis on the quality of performance over quality of costume. That is why out-of-pocket expenses on costumes (if at all) are kept at a minimum.  

Performance Opportunities

  • Various studio showings and/or Open House performances throughout the year at the CBTB studio.

  •  A late spring recital – generally scheduled every other year, open to all Academy students and performed at a designated auditorium or theater stage. Rehearsals occur during class time approximately 2-3 months prior to the performance.

  •  A spring luncheon fundraising event for the school’s professional company, Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn – all Academy students are eligible to participate. Rehearsals occur during class time approximately 2-3 months prior to the performance.

  • Various performances at Nursing Homes, Senior Residences and Libraries – scheduled throughout the year.

  • Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn’s public and educational performances – once or twice a year. These concerts are open to the more advanced ballet students to provide them with the invaluable opportunity to perform alongside professional dancers. Mid- to Upper level ballet students are eligible to audition. Rehearsals are scheduled outside of class time.

  • Occasionally, the Academy is notified of auditions and casting opportunities with professional dance companies. CBTB encourages students to participate. Details and scheduling is the responsibility of the student  

Are There Any Obligations To Perform?
All CBTB performance opportunities are voluntary. There may be requirements and obligations to fulfill in order to participate, such as volunteering, selling tickets, and performance fees.  All students are notified of these requirements or obligations prior to auditions and rehearsals. 

Benefits
There is no substitute for performing than to perform. Besides improving technique, a young dancer should also be given the opportunity to develop that allusive beauty known as “artistry.” It is an expression of a dancer’s emotion through movements. CBTB Academy is always looking for valuable ways to fully develop the potentials of our young dancers.
