The Juline Regional Youth Ballet
Based out of Modesto, CA since 2008, Juline Regional Youth Ballet offers young, serious minded dancers the opportunity to pursue their dance education in a professional manner by providing excellent training and real performance experience. Being a part of the Juline Foundation for Children allows these young dancers the opportunity to mentor dancers in the JFC Outreach Program.
With your contribution we can continue to give education and support to the many kids participating in the program. 100% of your donation will go directly into funding the events, facilities, and teachings.
The Juline Regional Youth Ballet is a proud member of The Ballet Alliance, formerly known as RDA/Pacific.
