NYDCS FOUNDATIONS Aberdeen
National Youth Dance Company Scotland FOUNDATIONS is a dedicated training programme created to nurture and support young people with potential, ambition, and determination and works alongside our flagship National Youth Dance Company of Scotland (NYDCS) programme.
It is designed to support the journey in to NYDCS, college or on to the professional dance sector.
It offers 15 young dancers, who live in the Aberdeen area, a high-quality prevocational programme where dancers develop their technical dance, creative, choreographic, and performance skills as well as their knowledge of dance training in Scotland and careers in dance.
As a member of the Aberdeen FOUNDATIONS programme, you will also get the chance to take part in guest workshops in June.
-
It is for 13–18 year-old dancers who show exceptional talent in dance and lack access to dance courses in the Aberdeen area.
-
Bursaries, for full payment of fees, are available to all applicants.
