Founded by Diane Scouras in 1999, the BYDT is a non-profit organization formed to educate and train young people in the art of dance and theater. Exposure to the performing arts broadens our children's horizons and education. To support this growth we encourage the youth of our community to dance, sing and use their talents in performances held throughout the year. As we grow, we continue to expand our children's experiences by planning trips to a variety of dance and theater performances.
