Founded in 1945, San Diego Civic Youth Ballet (SDCYB) has been the resident classical ballet school in Balboa Park for almost 80 years – offering affordable, year-round, high-quality classes and productions for dancers ages 4 to adult in the beautiful Casa del Prado. The organization provides over 500 students with daily ballet classes, produces ballet productions for over 20,000 patrons each year, teaches over 500 students offsite through the Outreach Program, and continues to operate in good financial health with a dedicated staff of full-time and part-time employees, as well as over 200 volunteers.
Each year, four major productions grace the Casa del Prado Theater stage including a full-length spring ballet, an annual school-wide Spring Showcase, Fairy Tales in the Park (benefiting SDCYB’s Scholarship Program), and the beloved family holiday tradition, The Nutcracker. SDCYB offers ballet camps and intensives each summer and has offered the “Ballet for Me!” class for students with disabilities since 2015. Relationships with school groups and Scout troops continue to develop through discounted tickets to ballet performances.
San Diego Civic Youth Ballet is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
