LAUNCH

Youth Dance Night

LAUNCH creates an inclusive platform for young people in Wales to express themselves and their vision for dance.

A thrilling evening revealing the future of dance, LAUNCH is a night celebrating exciting young artists with a passion to move

 

Hosted at the Dance House in Cardiff Bay, dance groups from across Wales are invited to apply with physical work for stage or dance films. 

LAUNCH creates an inclusive platform for young people to express themselves and their vision for dance.
Expect powerful, emotive dance exploring themes and issues important to the exciting young artists involved and celebrating their passion to move.

NDCWales invites groups to perform along with NDCWales Young Associates, to form an evening which embodies Youth Dance in Wales.

 

Launch is an opportunity for youth dance groups from across Wales to perform in a professional setting.

Apply with your performance-ready piece of dance of up to 10 minutes. You may have performed your piece before, or have just rehearsed it, or you may want to make something new just for Launch.

Chosen groups will work with a lighting designer to finish your work and then perform alongside other dance groups to a live audience across two shows.


Applications for 2024 are now closed.
