Arizona Youth Ballet provides young dancers performing opportunities to assist them in reaching their true artistic potential!
Arizona Youth Ballet has provided young dancers with pre-professional ballet training and performance opportunities since 2010.
We strive to be the premier youth ballet company in the Southwest. We offer strong technical training by a highly regarded faculty in a positive and nurturing environment.
Dancers attend our weekly technique class and performance rehearsals on Saturdays with our artistic staff, while continuing their weekday training at the studio of their choice.
Dancers are admitted to our program through an audition process twice yearly, in August and January.
In addition, we offer a Ballet Summer Intensive program, to dancers aged 9 and above, who have completed two years of ballet training. We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors.
Join us and experience a love of classical ballet!
The training that I received from Christina Hampton is not only vital for a healthy and injury-preventive career, but also for a successful and intelligent one. Her technical base has provided a solid foundation that I’m able to utilize in all forms of dance and has helped separate and highlight my strengths as a dancer and an artist. Her knowledge of proper alignment, correct muscle development, and artistic coordination is imperative for a professional career and has proved to be invaluable and relevant for years to come. The performing and rehearsing opportunities that she provides, through Arizona Youth Ballet, have taught me many skills and tools necessary to survive in this profession. I wouldn’t be where I am today or have the opportunities of tomorrow, without all of the beautiful work that has been generously shared and carefully taught from Christina Hampton.
