TYB is dedicated to serving the community through outreach to all children who dream of being a ballet dancer. Our Ballet Stars* of Tomorrow scholarship follows the federal school lunch subsidy guidelines for free tuition, performance fees, tickets and uniform expenses, so the students get the full experience of the art of ballet without income dictating what they can achieve. We seek to foster diversity in the professional world of ballet by providing the highest level of training to create inroads for our dancers into the professional world. Our dedication to the education of our dancers is evident in our offering of master classes, choreography opportunities, and opportunities to work with guest choreographers. Our training is complete, with rarely found year-round classes in Pas de Deux and pre-professional training. Our performances are built around our dancers, so that they obtain early experience in soloist and principal roles. They have the opportunity to become aware of the responsibilitiy that goes along with the privilege of a principal role. Our studio atmosphere is nurturing and supportive, with an emphasis on being a good person, as well as an accomplished dancer.
