KCYB

  Still young but wants to join a real dance company? Love ballet? Live in Missouri?  No prob, ballerina! Just visit this site, and be sure to ask your parents if you can join!




The Kansas City Youth Ballet (KCYB) is the performing ensemble of the KCBS.



  KCYB is designed to give aspiring young dancers the opportunity
to develop their skills and love of dance through professionally
structured training and performing. KCYB provides dancers with
performance opportunities, including major productions and
educational outreach demonstrations throughout the community.


  KCYB is made up of 21 dancers ranging in age from 13-18, who
 study under the directorship of Alecia Good and the faculty of
the Kansas City Ballet School. The company presents two major
 performances each season, showcasing many original works by
 local and national choreographers, as well as new emerging
artists.


  Auditions for the company are usually held in May and students
 enrolled or enrolling in Kansas City Ballet School Level 6 or
 higher are eligible to audition. There is an annual fee to
 participate with the KCYB in addition to School class fees.
