AYD Youth Dance Company

AYD5556.jpg

Artistry Youth Dance hosts auditions once a year in September to recruit dancers, aged 12 - 19 years, for our Junior and Senior Companies. We are looking for dancers who:

  • Can show commitment

  • Have a willingness to learn

  • Have a passion for dance

  • Have the desire to be part of an amazing group

Some previous dance experience is preferred although not necessary for those who are keen to develop their dance skills (eg. jazz, contemporary, ballet, GCSE, BTEC).

We are looking for dancers with their own personal flair, a little bit of...artistry!

So come and show us what you've got!


Interested in Joining?

Acceptance to the youth dance company is by audition. Be sure to register for auditions to receive an invitation to the audition.
