The dance company are encouraging entrants of all dance styles and levels of experience to apply.

These workshops will offer a chance to find out more about NYDC and be considered for a place in the company from December 2021. Following these workshops, NYDC will offer a select number of dancers from each location the additional opportunity to attend an audition at Sadler’s Wells in London on Saturday 6 November, 2021.
