The Pittsburgh Youth Ballet School & Company celebrated its 25th Anniversary in June, 2009 and we now begin our 26th year. Over those years, PYBC has built a reputation unparalleled among other national schools, offering the finest instruction and professional performing opportunities. PYBC dances a repertoire many professional companies cannot acquire the rights to perform, in a tradition of excellence. While many dancers have graduated and moved on, the foundation of PYBC has remained and has only grown stronger over the years. This will continue to be true.

This year has been so wonderful with our "25th Year Celebration" at the Byham Theater in collaboration with the CAPA Symphony for The Nutcracker and for Coppélia at the Byham Theater. Many former students were offered contracts from professional companies. For example, Emily Chalmers has been offered a contract with Ballet Magnificat in Jackson, Mississippi right from graduation in our High School program. Amy Barker secured a professional contract from The New York City Ballet after being an apprentice for a year, joining former PYBC's students Faye Arthurs and Stephanie Zungre. Pam Swaney was promoted to principal dancer at Louisville Ballet, Allison DeBona is dancing principal roles at Ballet West. |
