San Diego Civic Youth Ballet is more than just a ballet school...it's a community.
SDCYB's reach extends beyond the Casa del Prado in Balboa Park. From fostering connections with generations of SDCYB alumni dancers, bringing dance education to public schools through our Educational Outreach Program, making ballet performances more accessible for school groups and Scout troops, or going above and beyond the ballet through efforts including arts advocacy, sustainability, and giving back, SDCYB is proud of the impact we have on our community.
SDCYB's Alumni Program allows you to reconnect with fellow dancers. Engage in networking events, revisit cherished memories, and contribute to preserving our rich history, fostering a lifelong connection to the ballet community.
SDCYB's Educational Outreach Program, established in 2003, brings ballet instruction into San Diego public school classrooms, fostering joy, discipline, and cultural enrichment where dance education is needed within the community.
SDCYB offers discounted performances of The Nutcracker to school groups and scout troops, making live ballet more accessible. These special experiences promote a lifelong love of the arts, while enriching young lives in the community.
SDCYB's "Beyond the Ballet" initiatives encourage advocacy for the arts, champion sustainability, and give back to the community, ensuring our impact extends far beyond the Casa del Prado studios and stage — and into the world.
