★★★★★Kristin FeddersenOur daughter discovered her passion for classical ballet when she started at CBA at the age of four. She has trained there for 18 years. The training she received not only lead her to become an accomplished dancer, but it also taught her soft skills like perseverance, teamwork, and dedication. She is now graduated from college (not a dance major), yet the caliber of the instruction she received at CBA is noticed when instructors in other cities see her dance - always asking where she received her training. I highly recommend Champaign Ballet Academy for exceptional ballet training.
★★★★★Hyun KimExcellent ballet school with a wonderful staff providing high quality instruction. My granddaughter has been a student here beginning at the age of six and has been loving it ever since. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Deborah FeinenHigh standards with caring support. The Academy gives dancers opportunities to grow as individuals and dancers. Dancers gain more independence and responsibility as they move through the program.
★★★★★Claire DalyI trained with CBA from 2000-2010 and it provided me a space to learn, push myself, and develop skills I still use today. If you are looking for quality ballet classes I would highly recommend this studio.
★★★★★Chloe CooperI danced at the Champaign Ballet Academy for a decade and can attest to the high quality training under Deanna Doty.
