NYDC begins its search for the next intake of young dancers to join the company and work with Alleyne Dance to create a new piece of work from autumn 2025 which will premiere in April 2026.
To find these young dancers, NYDC Experience Workshops will be taking place across England from May to July in all regions and the final audition will be held in London at Sadler's Wells East on Saturday 6 September.
NYDC are visiting Falmouth University on Sunday 29th June and holding a free workshop for dancers aged 16-18 (*up to 24 for those who are d/Deaf or disabled). The workshop will run from 4.30pm - 6.30pm at the AMATA Arts Centre.
If you haven’t heard much about National Youth Dance Company - they create and perform innovative and influential dance, bringing together the brightest talent from across England to work intensively with the Sadler’s Wells renowned Associate Artists and visiting companies. This is done through residencies across the UK during school holidays and a national tour in July. All dancers who are a part of NYDC continue to be active members of their local dance training, while also being wonderful ambassadors of Youth Dance for the country.
