Woodstock School of Ballet: Home of Cherokee Ballet Theatre
The Woodstock School of Ballet first opened in 1985 with a commitment to offering the community the highest standards for dance training, and related arts. Since then, students have thrived in a professional, caring atmosphere, learning from some of the metro area's finest instructors.
Our philosophy is to encourage students, in a positive environment, to be self-motivated, competing only with themselves, and to develop a sense of personal accomplishment.
Physically, students will gain strength, coordination, flexibility, and good body alignment from their training. Other benefits include self-confidence, poise, good classroom manners and just plain fun!
In 1992 "Cherokee Ballet Theatre" was established as a performance outlet for pre-professional students. The school's commitment to quality has produced a polished group of dancers who perform a varied repertoire of classical, modern, tap and jazz works. The Company's season includes a holiday production of The Nutcracker, Spring Concert, a Lecture/Demonstration series for area schools and libraries, and a number of community performances. CBT has been a recipient of a Grass Roots grant awarded by Georgia Council for the Arts and Cherokee County Arts Council for our work in the schools. Auditions are held each spring for Company placement.
