What to wear and bring:
Wear clothes that you feel comfortable dancing in, and bring a water bottle to the sessions.

What to expect:
Expect a dynamic and supportive environment where young dancers can develop their Contemporary Dance skills, take part in performances, and advance their training in a fun setting with professional dance practitioners

Benefits:
Joining the Youth Dance Company helps young dancers improve technique, boost confidence, gain performance experience, and connect with like-minded performers in a supportive and creative environment, and as part of a group.
