SAYB Mission Statement:

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 with the necessary environment to pursue a career in dance, work towards obtaining a college scholarship, or even fulfill a passion for dance.
