Triangle Youth Ballet WHERE JOY IS ALWAYS CENTER STAGE Photography by Melissa Edwards

CREATED FOR THE LOVE OF DANCE AND COMMUNITY Triangle Youth Ballet (TYB) has been a different type of dance studio since opening its doors in Chapel Hill. What began 25 years ago as an annual production of the Nutcracker has blossomed into a ballet repertory company. As a 501(c)(3) non-proďŹ t, TYB is committed to creating a community where dancers of all levels and ages can learn proper technique, focus on their passion and thrive.

PERFORMANCES WITH PURPOSE TYB creates opportunities for dancers to perform while connecting meaningfully with the community. From a free literary-themed performance at University Place that is a book drive for Book Harvest, to visiting patients at UNC Children’s Hospital, to special needs performances of its annual Nutcracker production with a live orchestra, TYB makes dance accessible to all audiences. Productions throughout the year showcase the talents of both company dancers and students in an atmosphere that is uniquely supportive and low stress.
