"Seven Decades of Ballet in Balboa Park"

"Seven Decades of Ballet in Balboa Park"

In 2015, in celebration of SDCYB's 70th Anniversary, we gathered together a dancer from each of our first seven decades of ballet education in Balboa Park. Although the dancers featured in this historic photo come from different generations, they are bound together forever through their hard work, dedication, and love for the ballet.
