A Message to our Dancers and Community,

The AYBT Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the spring production of Cinderella and More in order to best support the local and global response to COVID-19. This unprecedented decision is part of AYBT’s commitment to prioritize the well-being of our audiences, dancers, and community.

At this time, AYBT remains closed to in-person interactions; however, the ever-changing situation will be monitored and adjustments made accordingly so please continue to visit the website for updates and re-opening guidelines.

AYBT will continue to uplift, engage, and inspire our community and dancers via social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Also, company class will continue on Saturdays through Zoom until the end of June, and AYBT company auditions, as well as the company picnic, are tentatively scheduled for August.

The AYBT family hopes that your family is well, and we look forward to once again sharing the art of ballet with the community.
