Performances
Competition Team & Performance Company
West Jersey Youth Ballet dancers have the opportunity to learn classical ballet variations and contemporary solos to participate in competitions and conventions throughout the year. We attend high-level ballet competitions, such as Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), Universal Ballet Competition (UBC), National Ballet Competition, and The Connecticut Classic. We also attend several other high-level competitions and conventions, such as New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA), for other genres. Dancers may also compete group dancers, duets, and trios. We aim to choose educational competitions with master classes, which give dancers the opportunity to learn from well-renowned instructors in different styles.
​
West Jersey Youth Ballet also offers a non-competitive performance company. Dancers perform at community events, special opportunities, and volunteer philanthropic engagements. Our Inspire dancers are the face of our studio within the community.
