CITY BALLET THEATRE...We Grow Great Dancers!

All classes take place at 527 N. 27th St., Milwaukee, WI, between Michigan and Clybourn, two blocks north of I-94.

CBT’s evening and Saturday classes begin in September and run through the beginning of May.  The classes offered by CBT provide students the opportunity to study modern & jazz dance, ballet, and hip hop. Each level of instruction utilizes the technique that is cultivated in the previous level, creating a strong, reliable base on which the student can build.  Most students spend at least two years concentrating on each level of proficiency.  Classes are offered for ages 4 through adult.

Fundraising

All students and their families are REQUIRED to participate in the CBT School of Dance fundraisers.  Proceeds from the fundraisers support CBT's Youth Programs including the CBT School of Dance, CBT Youth Ensemble, and Summer Youth Arts Camp.  Less than half of CBT's overall budget is covered by class and camp fees and ticket sales.  Each CBT family must take an active part in these fundraisers to keep CBT's class and camp fees affordable.  Sell to family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church and school.

Scholarships

CBT offers partial scholarships and full merit scholarships to students who have been in the CBT School  of Dance for more than one year and who demonstrate the financial need and the desire to dance.  There are scholarship requirements that need to be fulfilled and adhered to in order for the student to qualify.  Contact CBT for additional scholarship information.

Many of CBT’s past students have gone on to dance professionally, to teach dance, or just continue dancing for their enjoyment and physical training.  CBT supports its students in not only their artistic endeavors, but in their academic and professional careers as well.  The school is a dance training arena and a stepping-stone to developing personalities able to deal with the future in a positive manner.
