The Alabama Youth Ballet Company

The Alabama Youth Ballet Company is the only pre-professional youth ballet dance company in Shelby County.  The AYBC presents professionally-styled classical and contemporary ballet performances including Shelby County's only civic performance of The Nutcracker. 

The Alabama Youth Ballet Company relies heavily on the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations to carry out its
mission.

As an organization seeking non-profit status in the performing arts field, support from individuals and organizations is critical.
This support takes the following forms:

  * individual gifts

  * corporate gifts/grants

  * foundation grants

  * corporate sponsorship

The Alabama Youth Ballet Company's mission is to:

  * create and present ballets of excellence that are designed to be stimulating, culturally relevant and appropriate to children and adult audiences;

  * create an innovative approach to ballet training that welcomes diversity, and ensures unanimous participation and achievement by all students;

  * create sustainable, inclusive and engaging outreach programs that make ballet accessible to participants of all racial, cultural  and economic backgrounds; and

  * reposition the role of dance in our culture and expand its purpose in the education of youth and enrichment of the community, locally and beyond.
