WHAT WE DO Since 1945, San Diego Civic Youth Ballet (SDCYB) has served as a cornerstone of the San Diego arts community, operating as the resident classical ballet school in the heart of Balboa Park. As one of the city’s longest-standing arts education institutions, SDCYB operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit from the historic Casa del Prado.

Our work is sustained by an annual budget of $1.2 million, an active Board of Directors, and a dedicated staff of 34 professionals, all supported by a passionate network of more than 300 committed volunteers. This collective effort allows us to provide high-quality, affordable dance education to over 425 students per semester, with a faculty of 17 professional instructors leading more than 60 weekly classes. These efforts culminate in four major productions annually at the Casa del Prado Theater, including the beloved The Nutcracker, reaching over 10,000 patrons and giving our students the invaluable experience of performing in a professional environment.
