Brighton & Hove Youth Dance Company

This dance company is the leading contemporary dance company for young people in the city, with a specific programme of rehearsals and performances planned each year.  Company members will have the opportunity to improve their contemporary dance technique through regular company class and intensive rehearsals (during school holidays).  Technique classes will focus on achieving a strong core stability, which enables dancers to move in a safe and controlled way.  Members are encouraged to develop their own choreographic skills and will be given information about extra training opportunities.  Those planning a career in dance will be offered advice and help in researching different study options.

The Company has worked with some of the Country's hottest choreographers and has been involved in many pretigious projects over the years, including performances at The Place (London), Youth Dance England regional and national events and local dance platforms.

Auditions will be held on Wednesday 15th October, 6-9pm and are open to male and female students aged 14-18 years (Year 10 and above) who have a high level of technical skills and a good understanding of contemporary dance technique.
