Dance Lab New York (DLNY) is thrilled to announce auditions for our inaugural NextGen Youth Dance Company.

For all DLNY NextGen Labs, DLNY hires highly trained, stylistically versatile dancers of all backgrounds ages 14-18.

Dancers work with and learn choreography from two different choreographers, so adaptability and versatility are necessary. Dancers must also have a strong attention to detail and a memory for complex choreography.

We invite dancers from all five boroughs of New York City and those of all backgrounds, races, genders, abilities, and ages to apply. High level of skill is a must.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL DANCERS MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL HOURS OF REHEARSAL. NO EXCEPTIONS. (Rehearsal schedules will always be made available prior to contracting.)
