2024 Performing Arts Campaign Contribution Recipient

Arli Mitchell has been dancing since the age of 5 at Charlotte Ballet Academy (CBA) in Charlotte, NC. Arli’s training at CBA includes Classical Ballet and Pointe. She also has played various roles in the production of The Nutcracker such as Clara’s Friends, Mother Ginger, Candy Cane and Wind. She recently completed CBA’s Summer Intensive Program which has given her the opportunity to not only progress in her ballet training but allowed her the space to explore other dance forms, such as Contemporary , Musical Theatre, and traditional Indian dance. 

When Arli is not in the dance studio or on stage she enjoys running, listening to music and spending time with friends and family. 

Dance for Arli has significantly influenced her life by helping her become more confident and has served as an outlet for her to express herself. She has met some amazing friends, teachers and choreographers that have helped support and guide her through the years.
