“At the end of July, Ballet of York County (BYC) will celebrate the 5 year anniversary of our first class, held outdoors at the Anne Springs Close Greenway, after the closure of York County Ballet due to the pandemic. In celebration of this milestone, we are ending our 2024-25 dance season with a brand new production that brings a fresh, modern and uplifting take on a classic fairy tale! BYC has only been able to begin and flourish over the last few years due to the tremendous outpouring of support from our amazing community. We are forever grateful to be able to share this beautiful and timeless art form with so many throughout York County. We hope you enjoy Jack and the Beanstalk!” From the BYC Board of Directors
