The Belmont School of Ballet

Welcomes You

The Belmont School of Ballet began in 2006 as an extension of the Charlotte School of Ballet, which was founded in 1968 by Gay Porter. We offer training to everyone who has an interest in the art of dance. Classes are primarily based on classical ballet curriculum from The Cecchetti Council of America and The Royal Academy of Dance in London, England. Training begins with the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, one that is used successfully in eighty-two countries throughout the world, and continues into the Cecchetti Method. Non-syllabus classes are an important part of the student’s training also. Guest teachers are often brought in, to work with the advanced students during the year. Additionally, classes are also offered in tap, jazz, modern, and hip hop by experts in their field.

Performing is an important aspect of dancers’ training. We seek opportunities to perform throughout the community as well as full-length story ballets. Ballet instruction offers students skills that can be used throughout their lives: poise, grace, discipline, and self-confidence are invaluable assets.

We look forward to answering your questions and having you join us for classes. For answers to further questions, please continue to browse our site. If you require further assistance, please contact us at 704-829-7929 or via our contact page.

The Belmont School of Ballet has been part of the Belmont community since 2006, and we are beginning our 20th year in the downtown area.
