The National Youth Dance Company are beginning to look for dancers to join the company and work with them during 2026-27. This is an amazing opportunity for any inspiring dancer

We bring together talented young dancers from across the country to work with leading artists and create world-class performances.  This is done through residencies across the UK during school holidays and a national tour in July.  We support young artists to realise their potential and gain insight into the professional world of dance.    

We are visiting Folkestone on Sunday 21st June 2026 and are holding a free workshop for dancers aged 14-18 (*up to 24 for those who are d/Deaf or disabled).  Our workshops welcome disabled and non-disabled dancers from all backgrounds, dance styles and levels of experience.
