The take

A professional company splitting its year between contemporary repertory and the annual Nutcracker, performing at the Knight and in its own Center for Dance. December sells out early; anything else is easier to get into.

Questions people ask

Where does Charlotte Ballet perform?

Three venues: the Center for Dance, which is its home, Knight Theater, and Belk Theater — the last currently for Nutcracker only.

What does a season look like?

The 2026/27 season runs October to June, taking in the Black Box Series, Nutcracker, the Knight Theater Series, Alice in Wonderland and FL!P.

Dated by season rather than listed date by date, because a stored performance calendar is stale the moment the season turns.

Are children welcome?

Yes, and there is no strict minimum age — but every ticketholder needs a ticket regardless of age, babies included. The company's own guide is whether a child can sit through a film in a cinema.

Is there parking?

Yes — $10 at designated garages for performances at Knight and Belk, paid after you park.
