Founded in the Spring of 1997, the Kansas City Youth Ballet is a non-profit dance company attached to the Kansas City Ballet School. The company is made up of younger dancers, aged 13-18 years, who study at the Kansas City Ballet School, under the directorship of Alecia Good.
The Spring Performance is one of two annual performances given by the company each season. These performances showcase original works by local and national choreographers, and occasionally, new emerging artists.
This program typically opens with class demonstrations by the lower level students, presented in fresh and creative ways. Accomplished advanced-level students perform pieces selected from the Company's repertory, including original works created for them. Some of the award-winning choreographers for the KCYB include Keelan Whitmore, Robert Mills, Patrick Corbin, Paula Weber. The Company has performed their works at Regional Dance America Festivals and in Europe.
Always entertaining and suitable for family members of all ages, this show is sure to inspire younger aspiring dancers into joining the world of Ballet.
