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 only non-profit dance company in Sahuarita, we are able to fully invest into the skills and performances of our dancers. 

We teach ages 3 - adult, in many multidisciplinary dances such as: 

Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Acro, and Contemporary. 

Please see our "Dance Classes" for a schedule.

Under the  Direction of: 

Darby Downs, Artistic Director 

Elizabeth Holst, Assistant Rehearsal Director

The artistic directors are in charge of class schedules, rehearsing, casting and 

producing all company performances.

 Ballet Continental expands our youth and adult dancers' horizons and experiences as performers and group participants. Our goal is to provide each dancer, performer and actor (artist) involved a broader challenge and professional dance and performance experience.

As a result of the continued professional growth, Ballet Continental 

is a dance company recognized statewide.
