Educational Outreach
Elevating the Arts in
San Diego's Classrooms
Students' access to dance education enhances their physical development by promoting skill, coordination, and strength while supporting emotional well-being through an increased sense of control, influence, and resilience. Since 2003, SDCYB's Educational Outreach Program has been dedicated to bringing ballet into San Diego public schools. As a trusted partner of the San Diego Unified School District, Lemon Grove School District, and a recognized Arts Education Resource Organization by the San Diego County Office of Education, we bring professional teaching artists directly into classrooms.
Our VAPA-approved classes for UTK-5 students are designed to fit each school's unique needs, goals, and budgets, all offered during regular school hours.
We believe every child deserves access to the transformative power of dance.

SDCYB teaching artists partner with schools and teachers to boost student learning in a supportive and inclusive enrvironment where all students feel valued and encouraged. This weekly, in-classroom program provides dance instruction to students and includes an optional culminating performances in the historic Casa del Prado Theater in Balboa Park.
