CHARLIE CARROUTH is from Spartanburg SC. She began her training as a young student at Ballet Spartanburg’s Center for Dance Education studying ballet, pointe, contemporary and jazz.

She is a rising college junior, currently majoring in Psychology through Palmetto College, USC’s online program, which allows her to continue her career with Ballet Spartanburg. Having danced with the Company as a Trainee during her high school years, Charlie has danced the roles of Clara and The Soldier Doll in The Nutcracker as well as soloist roles in Cinderella, The Sleeping Beauty and The Great Gatsby. Charlie is excited to dance with the company for the 2022-2023 season.
Education. Outreach. Performance.
The joyful picture above of children from Sidewalk Hope, an inner-city ministry in Spartanburg, captures the essence and innocence of joy, hope, and the connections that are created when we dance. Sidewalk Hope participated in the 2018 So You Think You Can Dance, Spartanburg! community event, a fundraiser in partnership with 10 local organizations. The picture above reflects opportunity, joy, happiness, dance and above all, who we are as an organization: education, outreach and performance.
The happiness in dancing on stage is reflected in this precious little dancer's eyes and body. Arms open, lights aglow, feet planted firmly on the stage, basking joyfully from a successful performance. This is the feeling we have as we anticipate returning to the stage this October with the premiere of Carlos Agudelo's, The Wizard of Oz. Ballet Spartanburg and its Board of Trustees and staff will monitor and adjust all health and safety precautions as directed by the CDC. We are ready to dance. We are ready to see our audience. We are ready.
