Children's Division Spring Registration Now Open
Spring Semester: January 6 - May 9
Spring registration is now open on the website. Students in Parent/Tot, Creative Dance 1 & 2 and Pre-Ballet 1 & 2 will need to register for Spring Semester classes. Please register your child for the same level they were in for the Fall Semester.
Students who are currently registered in Ballet 1 — Pre-Professional Division do not need to register for the upcoming Spring semester as these are year-long classes.
Students in the Children’s Division will learn and practice dances during their regularly scheduled class time to present at the Student Showcase on May 9, 2020.
Registration Open for Holiday & New Year's Resolution Intensives
Colorado Ballet Academy is excited to announce the dates for our upcoming winter intensives to help dancers stay in shape over the holiday break. Intensives are open to students in Levels 3 – Pre-Professional (or ages 9+ by placement). Students may sign up for the session or register by day.
Now featuring 3 levels of classes: Green Circle (Levels 3-4), Blue Square (Levels 5-6), Black Diamond (Levels 7-PPD).
Students outside of Colorado Ballet Academy are welcome and encouraged to register for these intensives. Please contact the Academy for placement: academy@coloradoballet.org

Fall Feature Thank You
Dear Fall Feature and First Friday Performers,
Congratulations on a weekend of beautiful shows! Everyone worked so hard to apply corrections and improve with each performance! You all danced so beautifully, and the CBA faculty is excited to see everyone’s growth in technique and artistry as the year progresses.
Thank you again to all our teachers who helped prepare the students for Fall Feature and to our production team for their expertise and beautiful contributions.
Sincerely,
Miss Erica

Pick-Up/Drop-Off Reminders
We understand the frustration with limited parking but have to work within guidelines that will keep the area clear and our students safe. We wanted to remind everyone that the following are not permitted:
1. Parking in the fire lane next to the sidewalk for any amount of time – at NO time should your car be left parked in the fire lane.
2. Parking in the accessible ramp area next to the doors – this must remain clear for those who need access to the ramp.
3. Idling in the parking lot – the pick-up and drop-off is intended to be a quick operation (think of it like the airport) and idling cars also create dangerous fumes.
4. Idling/waiting in a manner that does not allow other cars to quickly pick-up and drop-off, including backing up cars into the alley and onto 11th. We ask that you pull as far forward as possible along the sidewalk to allow other cars access to the lot.
5. Late pick-ups beyond 15 minutes: Due to staffing and security needs, students must be picked up within 15 minutes of the end of their class or rehearsal. Late pick-ups may result in a charge of $15.00/15-minute block.
We encourage you to park on the neighboring streets and walk in to drop-off/pick-up your student. For many of you arriving for the afternoon/evening classes, there is parking available on Santa Fe, Kalamath & 11th (west of Kalamath).
If you are arriving after 6:00pm, any open spot in the parking lot is available.
We appreciate your help in this matter.

Shorten Your List to Skip the Stress
It’s easy (and satisfying) to make a lengthy holiday to-do list. It’s much harder to complete all the tasks you’ve given yourself. Manage your expectations and cut back on a few things to create holiday season memories that matter.
