Saratoga Springs Youth Ballet, Inc.

About Us

Saratoga Springs Youth Ballet is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is committed to providing quality professional dance training to pre-professional students throughout the Greater Saratoga region. Founded in 2020 by Joan Kilgore Anderson and Cristiane Santos, the two former professional dancers opened their own school to focus on proper ballet training and technique. They are passionate about their work and strive to give the best to their students, families, and community. Students achieve their potential as dancers and artists while learning in a collaborative environment. A focus is put on building self-confidence and maturity in a nurturing atmosphere with an emphasis on performance and positive reinforcement. Dancers learn the value of hard work and garner an appreciation and love for the arts. At Saratoga Springs Youth Ballet, we invest in our students and in our community. We accomplish this by building confidence and maturity in our students through positive reinforcement. Dancers learn to value their efforts while developing an appreciation for the arts. Our dancers will have opportunities to share their talents in the community through performances.
