Peninsula Youth Ballet was founded in 1979 to provide opportunities for serious young dancers to develop their ballet skills and expand their performance experience in a company setting. Peninsula Youth Ballet is a non-profit organization that offers a unique opportunity for young dancers and promotes the art of ballet in our community. We pride ourselves on the diverse cultural and multi-ethnic b

ackground of our dancers and believe this diversity enhances our dancers’ experience. Each year Peninsula Youth Ballet presents academic performances, giving thousands of school children the opportunity to see a ballet in a theater atmosphere. Artistic Director Ayako Takahashi has been inspiring us since 1987. Her excellence in teaching and choreography has made the Peninsula Youth Ballet one of the most professional youth companies in the Bay Area. Ayako’s goal is to provide young dancers with the opportunity to dance in a professional atmosphere. PYB is comprised of dancers whose ages range from five to adult. We encourage and welcome dancers residing in the Bay Area to participate. While many schools offer their students recitals, we go one step further and encourage their participation in a professional performance. The choreography to which our dancers are exposed is professional and we ask our young dancers to rise to the challenge. Some of our previous productions have included Don Quixote, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Giselle, Coppelia, Paquita, Stars & Stripes, Peter and the Wolf, Graduation Ball and La La Bayadère. Current and former company members have performed with the American Ballet Theatre, Menlowe Ballet, Oakland Ballet, Smuin Ballet San Francisco, Colorado Ballet, Joffrey II, ODC/SF and Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley. We are privileged to have our previous members frequently return for guest performances.

Behind stage before the show start we all get together like this. It was last speech by 3 amazing seniors who are graduating 2020. All of them did well both dancing and academic. They also taught young dancers at the Ayako School of Ballet. We proud of them and believe they are great role model for our company’s young dancers! Wish all seniors good luck for your next adventures! We all miss them very much!❤️
