SUMMER 2024

BRBT’s Youth Ballet Summer Tour is one of our cornerstone community outreach initiatives that fosters the advancement of classical and contemporary dance.

BRBT’s Youth Ballet is comprised of a select group of intermediate level dancers, grades 5 through 9, who are chosen each spring in city-wide auditions.   As they train and perform together, these young dancers  receive valuable professional-caliber training, while also delighting area audiences with their highly anticipated productions.

  • Provides young dancers an opportunity to perform their chosen art form.
  • Inspires the Baton Rouge community’s passion and excitement for the art of dance.
  • Trains the next generation of professional dancers.
