About INYB
Irish National Youth Ballet is the premier youth ballet company in Ireland. Funded by the Arts Council, the company aims to give the best young dancers in Ireland the opportunity to train with brilliant teachers and choreographers and to perform in exciting semi-professional productions throughout the year. Many of our former members have gone on to professional training overseas. Having the performance experience with INYB can really help those dancers when it comes to auditions for further training.
