Join Our Family

We welcome dancers of all levels and backgrounds. No prior experience required — just a love for dance and a willingness to learn.

Everyone Starts Somewhere

Whether your child is taking their very first ballet class or has been dancing for years, we would love to meet them. Our audition is simply a chance for us to get to know your dancer, understand their experience, and find the best class for their level. There is no pressure — just come as you are.

How It Works

Three Simple Steps

1

Submit the Form

Our team will contact you within 48 hours to schedule a convenient time for your dancer to visit us.

Come Dance With Us

Your dancer will join a class at their level. It's relaxed, fun, and a great way to see if CYB is the right fit.

What to Bring

Keep It Simple

Comfortable clothes your dancer can move in (leotard, tights, or athletic wear)
Ballet shoes if you have them — socks or bare feet are perfectly fine too
Hair pulled back away from the face
A water bottle and a smile

No ballet shoes? No experience? No problem. We are here to help every dancer find their place. Our faculty will assess your dancer's natural ability, coordination, and musicality to recommend the perfect program. All ages welcome — from 2.5 years and up.
