WHY PRESERVE THE LEGACY?

Charlotte Youth Ballet enjoys a rich tradition of enhancing the cultural life of the Charlotte community with the only youth-based performing ballet company in the region. For over a quarter of a century, the CYB has proudly produced professional-quality Nutcracker and storybook ballets that merge a principal cast of professional international dancers and local students of ballet.

Our productions are designed to be accessible and affordable to a diverse audience with a particular focus on families in an effort to expand the reach of this centuries-old art form and to foster a lifelong appreciation for ballet. Your support will:

Offset costs (artistic, technical, administrative, etc.) of our virtual company team building workshops, which we’ll offer to company dancers until it is safe to perform in person
Increase our endowment to be financially ready to stage professional-quality productions once it is safe to do so, while keeping ticket costs and company dancer fees to a minimum

In addition, corporate funding sustains a variety of CYB outreach programs, including the following:

Underwriting free after-school ballet classes for underserved children in the community (our Lasting Impressions program offers the opportunity of direct underwriting)
Scholarships for company members, so all dancers can participate, regardless of ability to pay
Special events for Girl Scouts
