About the Ohio Youth Ballet

The Ohio Youth Ballet is a pre-professional, non-profit Youth Ballet and
Youth Dance Team company headquartered at The Turning Pointe School of Dance
in Canal Fulton, Ohio, serving children between the ages of 9 and 22. It was
founded in 1999 by a group of individuals who saw the need for young dancers
to cultivate their talents and share them with the community. Dancers
perform at local schools, libraries, nursing homes, festivals and other
venues. Many go on to receive college scholarships and dance professionally
and teach. The OYB is under the artistic direction of Natalya
Vyashenko-Connor, a former company member of the Alisher Navoi State
Academic Bolshoi Theatre of Opera and Ballet in the capital of Uzbekistan.
The OYB dance team is directed by Desmond Beasley, Dani Aleman and Ashley
Studer.
