As concern grows that young people are being priced out of creative opportunities, a national youth dance company is putting performers without formal training onto major stages.
The National Youth Dance Company, a programme run by the London dance theatre Sadler’s Wells, brings together young dancers aged 16 to 24 from across England, recruiting from a wide range of backgrounds and dance styles rather than only from formal training routes.
Its latest cohort features 32 dancers from 25 towns, cities and villages, from Blackpool to Brighton and Colchester to Exmouth. After opening its latest production, Memory Keepers, earlier this year, the company continues its July run with performances in Falmouth, Sadler’s Wells East and Coventry.
