Interested? Want to find out more? Why not email Susie on youth@candoco.co.uk or come along to one of our classes.
In our classes young people are introduced to:
- Technique.
- The works of various choreographers that Candoco has worked with.
- Have the opportunity to make original dance works with Candoco Artists.
We are open to new dancers at the start of each term – no previous dance experience is necessary, just your interest and commitment, the most important thing is to dance and have fun. Our young dancers have performed as part of Cando2 all over the country at youth dance platforms such as Big Dance and Fresh, the launch of Unlimited, conferences and festivals, it’s a great way to meet new friends and enjoy dance.
From working with our youth company some of our members has moved onto further training and working within the dance world.
