The Charlotte Youth Ballet is a non-profit organization offering dancers eight to eighteen an opportunity to audition and perform in professionally choreographed ballets.  In two full length productions each year, the Nutcracker in December and a Story Book classic in the spring, Charlotte area youth perform along side professionals from the local and international dance community.  By providing an opportunity for young dancers to share the stage with artists who have made their dreams reality, the CYB seeks to introduce ballet to diverse audiences fostering a life-long support of the arts.
