Thank you to everyone who joined us for our spring fundraising gala, Relevé Soirée, and to those who were bidding in the auction from home!

In ballet, "relevé" means "to rise". The Relevé Fund is a tuition assistance program that supports CHA Ballet families who express a financial barrier to dance education. The fund also supports community-based programs and touring to communities with little access to professional dance. These dollars are a critical component of Chattanooga Ballet’s efforts to address inclusion in ballet and to help provide more access to dance for more audiences.

Thank you to all who support these efforts, and to our entire faculty and staff who put them in motion!

You can still support and enjoy the perks of giving by visiting chaballet.org/support!

We are excited to announce a big change for Chattanooga Ballet School!

Elena Bozzone, who has served as our Education Program Manager for the past year, has been promoted to the position of Lower School Principal, and Nena Widtfeldt will be returning to the organization in a new role as Upper School Principal.

Our Lower School Principal will oversee Creative Movement through Level 4, flex classes, and all satellite locations. 

Our Upper School Principal will oversee Intermediate 1 through Advanced classes, direct the School Ensemble, and manage our Teen/Adult program.

Both Elena and Nena have a love for Chattanooga Ballet, its young artists, and seeing a healthy culture of training each dancer to their highest potential. We are confident they will contribute to Chattanooga Ballet being an exemplary organization!
