We strongly encourage parents to have dancers fitted with proper shoes for dance. Leotards, tights, and other clothing aren't nearly as important to the dancer's success.
There are several good dance shops in Columbia, and all are familiar with the dress code at Columbia Ballet School
If you have questions, please let us know.

Emerging Artists This age -- 7 through 13 -- spans an enormous time of change for our students. Some have been with Columbia Ballet School since they were three, but others are coming for the first time with a desire to dance. We have classes for them all.
Columbia Ballet School believes that the study of the arts should be fun, while teachers provide the finest instruction available in the Midlands. We believe students in this age group are discovering both their technical and artistic sides. It is each and every teacher's responsibility to instruct with both precision and kindness, as these students develop their independence and artistic freedom.
This is a time when students recognize that instruction and performance go hand in hand. Our classes are the most important part of our program, but we also provide performance opportunities at the end of the year through our annual recital. Each class participates in a themed concert, such as Alice in Wonderland.
Students also may choose to participate in our company, Visions Dance Company, which requires a high level of commitment to rehearsal and performance preparation. While we believe performance is important in self-development and self-confidence, we focus on classroom instruction as the most important aspect of the CBS experience.
Our beautiful new studios are conveniently located near the intersection of Garners Ferry Road and Rosewood Drive. This is a safe environment where the teachers nurture each child’s love of the arts and of performance. All studios are glassed so that parents can observe instruction.
Students in this age group can participate in classes in ballet, tap, jazz, acting, voice, and musical theatre. Frequency and level will be determined by the studio and based upon the student's experience and aptitude.
