Boy Blue’s radical vision meets the super talents of the young dancers of NYDC
For the last decade, NYDC, run by Sadler’s Wells, has sought out the most talented young dancers in England to create, perform and tour a new work every year with a Guest Artistic Director.
For 2025, Sky Arts and Olivier Award-winning hip hop dance theatre company Boy Blue, led by Kenrick ‘H20’ Sandy and Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante, has been appointed as Guest Artistic Directors. Join us as they team up with NYDC’s young people to create a brand-new show, Gravity.
The dancers are all aged between 16 – 24 and work with NYDC over four intensive residencies in the school holidays gaining valuable experience, honing their skills and working with top notch professionals. Since its inception 361 dancers have passed through the company, working with renowned dance artists including Oona Doherty, Wayne McGregor, Alesandra Seutin, Russell Maliphant and Botis Seva.
