Welcome to

Youth Ballet West

Nurturing Creative Aspirations since 2007

​

​​

Youth Ballet West (YBW) is a registered charity offering

young dancers the opportunity to nurture their talent.
A safe space is provided in which the young dancers can take ownership of their artistic development.

​

By providing the opportunity for young people to gain performance

experience and be mentored by industry professionals, we aim to

guide these young dancers to fully develop their creative potential.

YBW seeks to introduce ballet to diverse audiences and raise

the profile of ballet in the West of Ireland.

​

Partnership Organisations and Collaborations:

​

YBW has collaborated with Macnas, Baboro, Galway Technology Institute,

Cathy Sharp Danse Ensemble, Chrysalis Dance and

Corrib Dance Academy. These collaborations focus on the creation of new

work for YBW, giving additional performance opportunities and challenging

the young dancers with alternative dance styles and venues, while

broadening the audience for dance and ballet.
