Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre
Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre (CYBT) is a nonprofit performing company uniquely combining the performing arts with youth development. CYBT provides a nurturing artistic home for some of South Carolina’s most talented young dancers, offering elite conservatory training that prepares them for professional careers—or for success in any path through the life skills gained in dance: discipline, perseverance, respect, cooperation, and resilience.
Our mission is to enrich the community through high-caliber ballet training, performances, scholarships, and outreach programs that inspire appreciation for the arts and expand cultural opportunities.
Since 2007, CYBT has welcomed nearly 20,000 students from Horry, Georgetown, and neighboring counties to attend our productions of The Nutcracker and full-length classics such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Coppélia. We strive to make a lasting impact on both our community and the lives of the youth we serve.
