East Riding Youth Dance is looking for young people to sign up for their exciting community dance programme alongside recruitment for the East Riding Youth Dance County Company.
Community dance is a fantastic opportunity for young people, Year 5 and upwards, to work closely with professional dance artists in a fun, energetic and inspirational environment over a twelve week period.
Providing a platform for those with little or no experience to try a range of dance styles including contemporary and urban, whilst developing their creative technique and skills.
Former East Riding Youth Dance and County Company member, Jorden Brooks, said:
“East Riding Youth Dance is an inspiring programme for young people who have a passion to move. Regardless of previous experience, ERYD welcomes anyone to join their challenging and enjoyable sessions every week.”
“Members will build up their confidence levels in all aspects of their life and develop creatively through developing dance routines of their own.”
“East Riding Youth Dance has opened so many amazing doors for me and has lead me into full time training at one of the top contemporary schools in the UK. With that I cannot thank them enough.”
Through the course of the programme, each group will contribute toward the creation of an original dance piece to be staged at the biggest Youth Dance Platform in the Region.
Showcasing a vast array of performances into one explosive event taking over Bridlington’s signature venue, Bridlington Spa, on Sunday, 10 February, 2019.
Youth dance groups are taking place for 12 weeks in six areas of the East Riding, starting from 1 October and will take place in Beverley at the Memorial Hall on Tuesdays.
Dance Artist and Co Project Co-ordinator Dawn Holgate said:
“This year all our dance themes relate to health and wellbeing. We are on a mission to inform and inspire our young people and audiences alike, to think and be healthy. We will use those health related themes to create our dance work, watch this space.”
