Guidelines for the Academy

Champaign Ballet Academy provides structure and guidance for each dancer's education. Our faculty and students are friendly and welcoming, and we encourage respect in all our interactions. As a parent, we realize the importance you place on knowing that your child is dancing in a safe, nurturing, professional environment, and it's something we provide consistently and with superior quality.

New Students

CBA welcomes new students, even mid-term. A free placement class is offered to ensure a right fit for the dancer. Contact Deanna Doty, academy director, at 217-355-8234 to discuss placement and registration.

Current Students

Registration and check must be received by the academy before the first day of class.
No prorating. Students may take as many classes as they like in their own level or below.

What to Wear to Class

Girls and Women: should wear their hair pulled tightly and neatly off the face and neck, then secured into a bun. Footed pink tights and ballet shoes. No underwear, skirts, leg warmers, jewelry, decoration, etc.

  • Children's Division: pink leotard
  • Pre-Professional Division: black leotard

Boys and Men: should wear thick black tights or bike shorts, fitted white t-shirt or male leotard, dance belt and ballet slippers. Contact the school director with any questions you may have. We have a number of male students at all levels.

The CBA Difference

No contracts, no hassles, no hidden fees and truly exceptional training for every dancer.

At Champaign Ballet Academy, we believe in positive reinforcement while following a training syllabus that respects the needs and capabilities of the individual dancer. Your child should feel more confident and healthier because of their ballet experience. At CBA, we attend to the uniqueness of each child's potential and character.
