Who We Are
​San Antonio Youth Ballet (SAYB) provides premiere pre-professional ballet training to young artists across San Antonio, rooted in excellence, opportunity, and community impact. Unlike many training programs, SAYB offers a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, elite coaching from nationally recognized faculty, full-scale professional performance opportunities, and deep ties to San Antonio’s vibrant cultural community.
Who We Serve
Serving diverse young dancers from all backgrounds, SAYB provides scholarships and access to world-class instruction, creating pathways to professional careers in dance and beyond.
Why We Matter
At San Antonio Youth Ballet, dance is more than movement - it’s a pathway to confidence, discipline, and opportunity. Our programs empower young people through high-quality instruction and performance experiences that build not only artistic excellence, but lifelong skills. In a city where access to the arts is unequal, SAYB ensures that talent, not circumstance, determines opportunity. We prepare dancers to thrive both on stage and in life, cultivating a new generation of artists and leaders.
Where Talent Meets Impact
We measure success through student advancement into competitive summer intensives, college programs, and professional companies. Performance attendance, scholarship distribution, and community engagement metrics help track our reach, while surveys and partner feedback inform continuous improvement. Together, these indicators demonstrate the tangible impact of our work - both on stage and in the lives of our students.
