Earn a Patch and see the magic of the ballet before the show starts!
For many children, attending a Charlotte Youth Ballet performance is an unforgettable introduction to the world of ballet: the dazzling costumes, colorful sets, enchanting music, and storybook choreography all make for a magical experience. The Nutcracker is central to many families’ holiday traditions, and continues to inspire the next generation of dancers. Our Spring Shows are a great way to enjoy classical story book ballets as they come to life on the big stage.
CYB’s Before The Curtain showcases our professional and emerging student dancers, allowing Girl Scouts to go behind the scenes to take a look at what is required to dance in a full length professional ballet. Girl Scouts will walk away with in-depth knowledge of performing arts, the structure of a ballet, the role of props, lighting, costumes and makeup, as well as an opportunity to ask as many questions as their curiosity generates!
Girl Scouts receive discounted tickets to CYB performances and a special patch for the event! Girl Scouts can also meet the requirements for dance and performing arts patches with their troop.
It is important to CYB that ballet be both affordable and accessible. Before the Curtain is priced at only $25 per troop. Girl Scouts also receive discounted tickets to the performance of $18 per seat (plus theater fees).
