Daily News | How CPYB brings ballet from a little red barn in Pennsylvania to stages worldwide
Noelani Pantastico, artistic director of the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, demonstrates a port de bras for students in the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet's summer intensive.on Jul 19, 2023, 5:00 a.m. ET
Several dancers in the top companies across the United States grew up in or near Carlisle and got their start at CPYB, including Ashley Bouder at New York City Ballet, Jeffrey and Lia Cirio at Boston Ballet, Leta Biasucci at Pacific Northwest Ballet, and Julia Rowe at San Francisco Ballet. She started ballet in New Hampshire with a teacher who thought she had talent. When the teacher heard the family was moving to Pennsylvania, she recommended CPYB.
The late Marcia Dale Weary started CPYB in 1955 at just 19 years old. She had discovered a little too late that ballet was her calling. So while she would not become a dancer herself, she was determined to train children the way she wished she had been trained. She opened the school in Carlisle’s Band Hall.
“We all used to joke around that there was something in the water,” Pantastico said. “At the barn, there was this water fountain. ... In between classes, we’d all line up.”
