In addition to presenting its own full-length ballets, PYB performs with other arts organizations in concerts, performances and collaborations throughout the region. PYB has performed with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, most recently in their youth concert series, Dancing Around the World, which toured the state’s largest theaters in May 2013. In May 2014, PYB also performed with Boheme Opera New Jersey, and with the West Windsor High School North Orchestra, as well as the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey.
