Welcome to the Berkshire Youth Ballet website.

BYB is an organisation aimed at young dancers, with the purpose of giving them the opportunity to perform with other dancers from around Berkshire and gain experience from being involved in productions with different teachers, choreographers and cast members. Our intention is to develop their knowledge and passion of dance by exposing them to new forms of dance as well as developing their Ballet techniques.

I am extremely passionate about dance and performance and my main aim is to inspire the dancers to love dance the way I do. I think as a young dancer it is too easy to get caught up in exams, while I think these are essential (dancers must all be studying a ballet syllabus to be a part of BYB), what is the point of dance without enjoying it!

We are currently underway with rehearsals for our 2011 production of The Princess and the Bird, please see our home page for more information!

Our most important objective is to encourage the dancers' passion to dance and enjoy themselves!
As the director and choreographer of the BYB shows, I feel it is essential to give as much of my passion that I have for Ballet and dance that I can and I hope in return, to develop the love of dance for all these talented, young dancers.
