The U.Dance National Youth Dance Festival, now in its 15th year, will take place in Newcastle from 21–23 July, with support from arts organisations in the region, including Northern Stage, Dance City, Newcastle College and TIN Arts.
Head of Children of Young People’s Dance at One Dance UK, Laura Nicholson, said, “we’re incredibly excited to visit Newcastle with the U.Dance National Festival this year. Now more than ever, it’s important for us to support these amazing young dancers, who will go on to form—and transform—the dance world of tomorrow.”
Special guest performers at the event include the National Youth Dance Companies of England and Scotland. NYDC England, another event partner, is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will present an extract of Novacene, Wayne McGregor’s new commission for the company.
