Here's to the dads who haul set pieces, sit through dress rehearsals, learn what a grand jeté is, and show up every single time! 🎭

Happy Father's Day from all of us at COYB. 🤍

We're excited to announce that COYB is now certified in Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) ✨🩰

PBT is a proven conditioning method designed to support ballet training. It helps dancers build strength, improve alignment, develop body awareness, and support proper technique through targeted exercises created specifically for ballet dancers.

This class is a valuable supplement to traditional ballet training and gives dancers tools they can carry back into the studio, rehearsal, and performance. 🌟

Open to all area dancers ages 9+!

Class Details:
📅 Saturdays, starting June 20, 2026 (no class July 4th)
⏰ 10:00am – 10:45am

See if PBT is a good fit for your dancer! Learn more: https://coyb.org/classes/pbt/
