The Clackamette Youth Ballet (CYB) is a ballet company dedicated to providing young dancers with an opportunity to perform on stage and work in a professional theater setting. The company was formed in 1995 by teacher/choreographer Jacquie Kunzman and is affiliated with the Jacquie Kunzman School of Ballet. Dancers are auditioned annually for positions as company, associate and junior members.
For over ten years, Clackamette Youth Ballet (CYB) has been performing the holiday classic The Nutcracker, featuring 80 talented dancers and actors from various communities in the area. Open auditions are held in early September each year.
In the
spring, CYB performes in other productions, such as the
Tonite On Broadway,
a medley of musical numbers from both Broadway and film. Also, CYB
company members and associate members have opportunities to be part of a
performance troupe to travel and perform at local schools and community
events.
