Ballet Continental

Ballet Continental (legally known as Young Artists' Community Ballet, Inc.) was established in 1985 as a non-profit dance company to foster and develop an enriched performing group for young aspiring dancers within the surrounding communities of Southern Arizona.

 As the longest-standing nonprofit dance company serving the Green Valley/Sahuarita, Arizona community, Ballet Continental is committed to fostering artistic growth and excellence in dancers of all ages through comprehensive training and high-caliber performances.

We offer multidisciplinary dance instruction for students ages 3 through adult, featuring Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Acro, and Contemporary styles.

Our artistic directors oversee class schedules, rehearsals, casting, and the production of all company performances.

Ballet Continental provides invaluable opportunities for youth and adult dancers to expand their horizons, refine their craft, and grow as both performers and collaborators. Our mission is to offer each dancer, performer, and actor a dynamic and professional dance experience that challenges and inspires.

Through our continued commitment to artistic excellence, Ballet Continental has earned statewide recognition as a premier dance company.
