Our Mission

Since 1999, SFYBA has been sharing the joy of classical dance with children. We provide a disciplined and nurturing environment in which to study. The curriculum is designed to offer professional ballet training should students decide to pursue a dance career, but more importantly it offers the beauty of classical study to any student who desires to learn. From pre-ballet students to the most advanced dancers, the faculty is dedicated to making our acclaimed program an enriching and memorable experience. Class sizes are also limited so that we may provide excellent individual attention and coaching. In addition, SFYBA promotes teamwork while encouraging individual creativity. Our syllabus incorporates French and Russian ballet techniques to develop flexibility and coordination, increase memory skills, and promote physical wellness. The consistent classroom structure focuses on respect for others and the art of ballet, dedication toward practice, accomplishment, and FUN!

Above all, the San Francisco Youth Ballet Academy is devoted to children’s emotional and physical well-being as they pursue their dreams.
