The professional dancers of Charlotte Ballet live in Charlotte and rehearse at the Center for Dance in Uptown. With spending so much of their time in the city, they know the best spots to grab a bite before heading to the theater. Pair one of their favorite restaurants with the ballet for your own night out on the town!
