Having the opportunity to train at CPYB changed my life forever. Marcia’s school and my wonderful teachers taught me not only world class technique, but work ethic, performance quality, and an inspiring love of this art form. I know without a doubt that I would not have been able to achieve this dream (which I get to live everyday) without this amazing school.

About CPYB
Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet is recognized throughout the world for providing the finest in classical ballet training.
Founded by Marcia Dale Weary in 1955, her mission was simple: she wanted to bring the beauty of ballet to all she could, and so she began to change lives through dance.

What started in her historic barn grew in the spring of 1999 as CPYB’s Warehouse Studios were constructed just a few short blocks from Marcia’s home. Finally, with enough space to bring Marcia’s dream to life, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet continued to grow – and hasn’t stopped.
