Alabama
Youth Ballet School provides professional instruction to dancers
of all ages and abilities. We specialize in teaching dance in a manner
that builds self-esteem, so that everyone from the beginner to the pre-professional
dancer can excel at each level. A broad array of classes are offered
on a weekly basis including Ballet, Modern, Liturgical & Tap. Our
instructors share a common technical background and educational philosophy
that gives each student a full, exciting dance education in a creative
environment. The leadership of AYB cares about the development of healthy,
well-rounded young people and believes in encouraging their dancers to
be involved in community outreach. For more information about the school

Alabama
Youth Ballet Theatre is the non-profit performing company of Alabama
Youth Ballet. Under the artistic direction of Keren
Gibb Hilliard & David Herriott, AYBT produces two major performances
each year, including The Nutcracker (including much of the original choreography
that has made this a Huntsville favorite) in December and their much
loved Fairy Tale Ballet series in the spring, featuring timeless classics
like Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. In addition to these productions,
members use dance to bring smiles to many faces with visits to retirement
homes & hospitals, elementary school performances & participation
in community arts events such as the Panoply
Arts Festival. For more information about the company please visit www.aybtheatre.org.
