Auditions for top county youth dance company - 11 to 21-year-olds with potential wanted

GDance is offering young people from across the county the chance to join the top inclusive youth dance company in the South West.


Disabled and non-disabled youth dancers are invited to try out for this fantastic opportunity, which includes a chance to work with prestigious UK choreographers and to perform at high profile events or in short dance films.

Auditions will be held on Saturday 20 July at City Works in Alfred Street, Gloucester.  The audition fee (for a 3 hour workshop) is just £5.

11 to 21-year-olds with potential in, and a commitment to, creative, contemporary dance are encouraged to get their applications in quickly, as capacity is limited.  GDance is particularly interested in hearing from physically disabled young people. 

Last year’s GDance youth companies made a film, which will be screened nationally at dance, disability and film festivals; performed at the National Star College; took part in a workshop blending dance with new media; and had sessions with guest teachers from the UK contemporary dance sector. They will also be performing this year at the County Schools Games at Gloucester Cathedral in June.

The course is designed to improve confidence, fitness and technique, as well as to give an understanding of working together as equals, and of the broader dance sector.  Company members also have the opportunity to get a nationally-recognised Arts Award, and get the support of a mentor to help with their progression and future plans in dance.

GDance is looking for youth dancers who have a lot of potential – the auditions are open to all young disabled and non-disabled dancers, whether previously trained or not, and coming from any dance style background.
