We are so proud of each and every one of these dancers. On Saturday we had our audition for the coveted role of “Clara”. It was a wonderful audition, and the bravery that these young ladies exhibited was exemplary. It is not always easy to step into an audition- but these young dancers were amazing. These skills will last them a lifetime. BALLET YUMA will be announcing the role of Clara 2026 this week! Stay tuned. Again, we are SO PROUD of each and every one of these young ladies. The future looks bright.

Ballet Yuma is a very PROUD recipient of a grant from the Yuma Community Foundation. Not only have we used this grant for our Sensory Friendly Nutcracker production in 2025, but we are currently hosting a session of Ballet lessons for these wonderful special Olympians. We are so proud to have this partnership and are eternally grateful to bring the arts to all of our community members.

Ballet Yuma is Honored to be a member of the Ballet Alliance. This is an organization that focuses on arts, education, and quality. Each member company and their artistic directors concentrate on how we can help to support each other. Our dancers spend their days, taking master classes, audition classes and also phenomenal seminars. This year we were able to present an emerging work by Miss Allyson K. And our performing work by choreographer Mr. Jeffrey Gibbler- with our gorgeous tutus designed and constructed by Ballet Yuma alum, Grant Spencer. Four of our dancers were presented with scholarships, Miss Emma B. (for Ballet Arizona), Miss Allyson K. (for her choreography) and also to Miss Margaret P. and Abigail S. (For their grant from the Peace, Love, and Sunshine grant from the Maple family foundation.) We are very proud of each one of our dancers. We are thankful to be able to give our dancers this educational and artistic experience and are already looking ahead to the Ballet Alliance Festival 2027!
