Celebrating Company Artist Ben Youngstone ❤️ Ben first started dancing through Richmond Ballet’s Minds in Motion outreach program. Since joining OBT in 2021, he's been giving back and helping pass on his love of dance to local students with OBT's Education and Community Engagement Team! He's also mentored OBT School students, teaching them what it takes to become a professional dancer and inspiring them to follow their dreams. Listen to Ben speak with Oregon Ballet Theatre School Student Mateo about what it takes to become a ballet dancer: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4byublCSFkNFpU2GLcGfTL?si=f89a24a402dc46bb&nd=1&dlsi=40ad58206fa64716 Ben will be retiring at the close of the 24/25 season.
