CAMP LOCATION: Our dance studios are located in Herndon, VA, near the intersection of the Dulles Toll Road and Fairfax County Parkway. This is just minutes away from the historic downtown Herndon as well as the bustling Reston Town Center. Washington, DC and its beautiful national museums are also nearby--only 23 miles!
CAMP FACILITIES: Classical Ballet Theatre's facilities include two large studios with raised flooring, barres, and mirrors as well as common and administrative areas.
Herndon and Reston have myriad hotel accommodations for students who wish to participate yet reside outside of a commuting distance. As Classical Ballet Theatre's programs are daily only, a responsible chaperone must accompany such students, in order to provide them with transportation to and from the studios, meals, and supervision outside of the studios. The chaperone does not need to be present during the instructional day.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Spend your summer with one of the most highly regarded classical ballet and contemporary dance schools and performance companies in the Washington Metropolitan Area -- Classical Ballet Theatre, considered a "best" for ballet by CBS DC!
In addition to its school-year program, Classical Ballet Theatre offers high caliber dance training every summer for children ages 4-18 as well as for adults. All programs are taught by excellent faculty and tailored for students' ages and abilities.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: History: Over twenty-five years ago, Cynthia Donavin founded Classical Ballet Theatre (CBT), which today includes a classical ballet and contemporary dance training academy as well as performance companies. The not-for-profit organization has shared its love of the performing arts with thousands of students and patrons. It has presented beloved, classical ballets, such as "The Nutcracker," "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," "Swan Lake," and "Coppelia" as well as original productions, such as "Tom Sawyer." It has maintained an outstanding faculty, and it has developed young artists who have been able to pursue careers in the theater at every level of excellence. In response to the demands of Fairfax County, CBT expanded its training programs, scholarships, and outreach efforts, which has resulted in its growth and establishment as a highly respected educational and performing arts organization in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Mission: CBT provides education, performance, and outreach opportunities in the art of dance.
Education: CBT provides the highest caliber of classical ballet and contemporary dance training and coaching, affords classes to dancers of all ages and abilities, and prepares dancers for careers in the performing arts. The children's program emphasizes pre-professional achievement, with each instruction level crafted to provide comprehensive training in order to produce the high quality dancer for which CBT is known. In addition to academy classes, training includes master classes with industry leaders, Youth America Grand Prix coaching, dance conditioning specialties, summer intensives, and choreography camps. The adult program offers stretch classes, core conditioning, and classical training, and it often serves local and visiting professional dancers.
Performance: CBT provides exceptional classical ballet and contemporary dance performance opportunities, while offering professional quality productions to the community at affordable prices. Productions include beautiful choreography and some of the best, pre-professional talent in the area. CBS DC named CBT as one of the “best places to see ballet in the DC area.“
Outreach: CBT's extensive community outreach includes free performing arts enrichment programs for local schools, organizations, and underserved populations, as well as tribute performances that raise public awareness for worthy causes and/or honor members of the community. CBT also offers educational backstage tours, complimentary tickets to underserved populations, and performance discounts to scouts, military families, children, and seniors.
Goals: CBT has three main goals on which it consistently focuses:
To share its love of the performing arts by fulfilling the mission of the organization to the best of its ability and to incorporate ongoing program development and improvement to ensure the identification and fulfillment of student and community needs in innovative ways;
To instill core values of integrity, honesty, inclusion, respect, care, and excellence in its students; and
To serve as Northern Virginia's premier classical ballet and contemporary dance instruction academy and performance theatre and to be recognized nationally and internationally for developing future dancers who are mentally, physically, and emotionally capable of success.
