Question 1

Do I need to have ballet experience to take a class?

Accepted Answer

No! Classes are open to anyone age 3 years of age and older.

If a class requires any pre-requisites, it will say so in the class description.

Question 2

Where can I buy dance clothing and shoes?

Accepted Answer

Starting in the 2024/25 Season, leotards are available for purchase through the Chambersburg Ballet. Please view the dress code section for details.

Other places to purchase clothing and shoes:
 • For beginner dancers, you can try Target or Amazon for leotards, skirts, tights and slippers. 
 • For developing or experienced dancers, you can shop online including Amazon.com, Capezio.com or find a locally owned store such as Footlights Dance and Theatre Boutique (https://www.dancefootlights.com/?fbclid=IwAR10yqIecgyaz1dxSh5dhyumsv85txIOAV1QVirNMY3WiBYx2Oc_4rY6LY8)(Frederick), 360 Dance Fitters ((https://www.facebook.com/360DanceFitters/)Carlisle) or Wilkins Shoe Center.(https://www.wilkinsshoe.com/)

Question 3

Do I have to register for the full 9 months for fall/spring classes?

Accepted Answer

You can sign up and pay for one month at a time, or receive a discount for paying for the full year up front. Our hope is dancers will commit to the full 9 months, but we understand that life happens and things change. Paying monthly provides your family the flexibility you may need.

We also accept enrollments year-round, so you can sign up to join a class even after they have started.

The exception is for dancers who are in the Dance Company. They are expected to fulfill their company dance class/training requirements for the full season (September through early June with a break around the winter holidays).
