National Youth Dance Company (NYDC), is England’s flagship youth dance company.
Each year they bring together 30-35 talented young people from across the country to work with a word leading artist on a full length dance piece which is toured across the country.
Would you like to be a part of this? NYDC are currently looking for new dancers to join, working with their 2026-27 Artistic Director Hofesh Shechter!
The first step to joining is to come along to an Experience Workshop near you, where you will meet the team, find our more about the company, take part in a dance class and learn some company choreography.
