Why Preserve the Legacy?

Charlotte Youth Ballet enjoys a rich tradition of enhancing the cultural life of the Charlotte community by being the only youth-based performing ballet company in the region. Since 1981, 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 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 our production costs, including artistic, technical, administrative, theater costs, costume and sets storage, etc.
• Replace and improve aging costumes and sets.

• Support our outreach program that brings CMS Title I schools to see our shows at no cost.
• Scholarships for company members, so all dancers can participate, regardless of ability to pay.
• Special events for Girl Scouts.
