NYDC WOULD LOVE TO DANCE WITH YOU!

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 in all regions and the final audition will be held in London at Sadler's Wells East on Saturday 6 September.

NYDC are visiting Blackpool to hold a free workshop for dancers aged 16-18 (*up to 24 for those who are d/Deaf or disabled). The NYDC workshop is from 10am - 1pm

If you haven’t heard much about National Youth Dance Company (nydc.org.uk), 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.

“We're really excited to be working with Capital of Dance again. Last summer they hosted and supported an NYDC workshop in Blackpool- it was a huge success and 3 dancers in the company this year came from that workshop! The Blackpool boys are looking forward to coming to Blackpool this summer to perform our new work by Boy Blue and for the town to get behind Orson, Blake and Dylan. It’s clear there's so much talent in Blackpool and we can’t wait to meet even more local dancers.” Hannah Kirkpatrick, Head of National Youth Dance Company.
