Company members volunteer during Spring Break!

On March 16th, a Clearwater Agritopia assisted living retirement community resident was overheard saying “There are young people here today!” while observing Arizona Youth Ballet company members arriving to prepare for a performance. Several company members, including special guest appearances by artistic staff, collaborated to provide excerpts of the upcoming ballet production, “Cinderella”. Dancers performed before an audience of residents and spent time visiting with residents and answering questions after the show. It was a day well spent that brought joy to both residents and dancers alike.

Arizona Youth Ballet was recently featured on Sonoran Living (@sonoranliving) and Ms. Christina and one of our talented dancers, Ava, were interviewed by Terri Ouellette about the program.  Valley Toyota Dealers also awarded AZYB with a $500 gift card to help support our program and dancers!  This recognition is part of their “Helping Kids Go Places” campaign and we are honored to be a part!
