Stevan Grebel's Alabama Youth Ballet is the self-sustaining performing wing of The Stevan
Grebel Center for Dance, offering pre-professional dancers the opportunity to train and
perform through high-quality classes and featuring classical and contemporary ballet
performances. The company has grown out of a desire and a vision of the directors to
continue to contribute and promote dance education through performances and community
outreach in the Jefferson/Shelby County area as well as throughout the state of Alabama.  
Company auditions for the Alabama Youth Ballet are held on a continuous basis.  Auditions
are for dancers ages 11 and up.  At times, professional guest artists will be invited.  All
members perform in a pre-professional company which adheres to the finest standards,
where the students learn to work as a part of one body, as well as discovering their utmost
potential as individuals.  It is the desire of  the founders that the Academy of the Alabama
Youth Ballet and the Alabama Youth Ballet is non-discriminating and offers young dance
students the ability to grow and learn in a positive, self-fulfilling, and disciplined
atmosphere that will enhance their self-esteem and build a knowledge of the world of
professional dance - in the classroom and on the stage.
