The purpose of art is to enrich our lives by allowing us to realize and express a connection to the world around us.  The study of ballet cultivates self-esteem, creativity and discipline which can be applied to any endeavor in life.  Moreover, ballet is a foundation and enabler of many other theatrical dance styles.

At OYB we intend to pass on to future generations of dancers the traditions of classical ballet garnered from decades of education and professional performing experience. We firmly believe that proper training imparts wonderful benefits to all students regardless of their level of development, training intensity, or goals for their involvment.

Our objective is to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of classical dance on a personal level. Oklahoma Youth Ballet provides students with the opportunity to study with outstanding professionals, who bring practical experience, technical knowledge, and teaching ability to their classes.

We believe the education of a dancer relates to the development of the individual as a whole and therefore, we take great care in the instruction of each student so they may reach their greatest potential.
