Dear Patrons,

Welcome! We are excited to have you with us for this year’s Momentum and Stars of Tomorrow performances. It has been another remarkable season at Charlottesville Ballet Academy, and we are proud to now serve more than 950 students throughout Central Virginia. Watching our dancers grow in both skill and confidence continues to be an absolute joy.

In Momentum, our Trainee and Pre-Professional dancers present dynamic new works alongside distinguished pieces from the classical repertoire. Over the past year, these dancers have challenged themselves in new ways, pushing their boundaries and maturing as artists. Their commitment and passion shine through in every piece, reflecting their continued pursuit of excellence.

Stars of Tomorrow highlights our dedicated Student Ensemble, who have made tremendous strides this year. From strengthening their technique to deepening their artistry, these dancers bring energy, versatility, and heart to the stage. This performance celebrates not only their progress, but also their love of dance across a wide range of styles.

We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers, donors, faculty, students, and families who make performances like this possible. Your ongoing support sustains our mission and allows our dancers to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing artistic environment.

Thank you for being here to celebrate the dedication, progress, and talent of our Student Ensemble, Pre-Professional, and Trainee dancers. We hope you enjoy Momentum and Stars of Tomorrow!

Warmly, 

Kate Arson-Lauer, Emily Corrigan & Lori Jablonski
