Capital City Youth Ballet Company

Capital City Youth Ballet is a company open to pre-professional dancers who are 12 - 18 years old. As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization we strive to:

• Provide a training ground for pre-professional students who wish to pursue a career in dance.
  
• Provide a performance in a theatre setting distinct from school recitals or exhibitions.
  
• Serve as a source from which professional companies and colleges might select dancers.
  
• Provide educational dance programs in the community to encourage the young to explore and enjoy dance.
  
• Collaborate with community artists and support community events.
  

 This is an annual benefit for CCYB. A fun event open to fathers and their daughters usually held in early November. This year's event is on Friday November 15th at the Cathedral of the Rockies (Franklin Road entrance) from 7-9 pm. Tickets are available at the door and payments are accepted in cash, check, or Square payment.

 Capital City Youth Ballet demands high standards of dance education, presentation, commitment, and by professional conduct within the ballet company structure. Weekly rehearsals, annual concerts, and community appearances allow our dancers the opportunity for growth and new experiences appropriate to the dancer's age and skill level.  

Auditions to perform alongside the youth company members held each September for dancers, 10 years old and up, who are taking ballet classes a minimum of two times a week at the Preparatory 3 level or higher.

Auditions for next season's company members held in the Spring.

 Make dinner a selfless act by joining us for a fundraiser to support Capital City Youth Ballet. Come in to the Chipotle at 205 N. Milwaukee St. in Boise. Bring in this flyer, show it on your smartphone or tell the cashier you’re supporting the cause to make sure that 33% of the proceeds will be donated to Capital City Youth Ballet.  Online orders will not be included in the fundraiser total. To ensure your purchase is counted in the fundraiser, be sure to order and pay in-restaurant. Gift card purchases during fundraisers do not count towards total donated sales, but purchases made with an existing gift card will count.  

Capital City Youth Ballet has participated in many community outreach and collaborative artistic ventures. CCYB has performed with Timberline Orchestra, with local musicians in the Cathedral Concert Series, and with ELRO from Idaho Arts Charter School. The company has collaborated on a movement study in photography by Rick Ohnsman (featured photo above), and has performed for and taught children about ballet at the Boise and Caldwell libraries.
