Celebrating 20 years of

More than dance.

Join Our Mission

SYPG is a positive, nurturing, registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that plants the seed for a life-long love of the arts, for both our performers and our audiences. The goal of excellence in stage performances, arts education, and youth-centered programming — all under the guidance of professional artists.

Our dancers participate in our community outreach programs such as a gross motor skills program for children with developmental delays called Mighty Movers; a special community outreach program that consists of beloved fairy tale princesses and child friendly characters that will visit children in a need of a smile due to a medical condition, The Smile Co; and cultivating the written and spoken word for children through Books on Stage.

We could not do any of this work without the help from volunteers and donors. When you contribute to SYPG, you are enriching the lives of children in our community through the performing arts.
