San Antonio Youth Ballet is a pre-professional program led by Danielle Campbell Steans, whose mission is to cultivate the art of dance among future generations. SAYB provides young dancers, ages 10-18, unique opportunities to train and perform in a professional environment and to represent the San Antonio community at events and dance competitions throughout the state of Texas and beyond.

Performance experience is a critical component to a student’s artistic and technical development. This program provides students the necessary environment to pursue a career in dance, work towards obtaining a college scholarship, or just fulfill a passion for dance.

We would like to acknowledge Mayra Worthen, SAYB founder, for her many years of service to the dance community.
