Our Story
What began as two ballet classes at the neighborhood recreation center has grown into a thriving dance program serving families throughout Anthem. Founded in 2016 by professional dancer and educator Kristen Deppe, Anthem Highlands Youth Ballet was created to offer children the opportunity to experience professional dance training in a positive, community-focused environment. Ten years later, AHYB is proud to continue inspiring young dancers through quality instruction, meaningful performances, and lasting friendships.
