The next NYDC recruitment process will happen in Summer 2022 with workshops across the country in July and August, and a final audition at Sadler’s Wells on 3rd September.
Step 1: Register Online
Dancers who want to apply for NYDC must register online in advance, via our workshop registration page.
Step 2: Take Part in a Workshop
Workshops will be taking place across the country in Summer 2022 both in-person and online. Our aim is to ensure that all dancers can take part in the workshops, regardless of circumstances.
Step 3: Selected dancers are invited from the workshops to attend an audition
Approximately 60 dancers from across the country are invited to join this audition and meet the upcoming NYDC Guest Artistic Director for a day of workshops and discussions.
After this, a select number of dancers from the group are invited to join NYDC. For details about the structure and dates of the full NYDC year, please visit About Us
