National Youth Dance Company

Get Involved

Sadler’s Wells searches for thirty new talented young dancers to join the National Youth Dance Company each year.

The selected dancers will get the opportunity to work with the NYDC Guest Artistic Director drawn from Sadler’s Wells Associate Artists and visiting companies.

Take a look at the video to find out about the NYDC Workshops.

“NYDC was an incredible period in my life! It created a space where I could be physically, mentally and emotionally pushed to my limits and grow. I became confident speaking and presenting my thoughts. It taught me how to value and use every opportunity to become stronger.”

“NYDC helped massively in terms of my future as a dancer. Most importantly, the success of what we achieved and how much I improved during my time with NYDC helped me mentally, giving me the confidence in my own ability to audition and be part of a professional show instead of attending further training.”

“The combination of the intensity and the overall challenge to get the performance quality correct, alongside the touring experience and the knowledge gained is something I find totally unique and I will never forget what NYDC has done for me.”
