Support CYBT
Help young dancers grow. Help the arts thrive in our community.
At Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre, the performing company of Coastal Dance Centre, we bring young dancers together to experience the dedication, teamwork, and joy of bringing a story to life on stage. Through productions such as The Nutcracker, dancers develop confidence, artistry, and a sense of responsibility to one another—lessons they carry beyond the theater.
Creating these opportunities takes months of preparation and resources well beyond the classroom. Theater rental, costumes, scenery, lighting, sound, and artistic guidance all contribute to the experience our dancers and audiences share.
Your support helps make this work possible. Donations and sponsorships help sustain our productions, support young artists, and bring live ballet to families throughout the Grand Strand.
Whether you give as an individual, become a business sponsor, or contribute your time and talents, you become part of the community behind every performance.
Thank you for helping our dancers grow and keeping the joy of live performance in our community.
