Chutzpah Dance is a nonprofit dance company based in NYC. Chutzpah Dance has performed locally all over the tristate area in NYC, NJ, and Philadelphia, and toured nationally to upstate New York, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Salt Lake City. Chutzpah Dance also toured internationally at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland this past summer (we aim to return soon!) and most recently this December in Mumbai, India at the Mood Indigo festival. Chutzpah Dance is primarily a contemporary dance company, but as we continue to grow we intend on incorporating more tap dance. Through their work, Chutzpah Dance aims to push the boundaries of dance by layering movement into an indelible web, emphasizing inclusion and creating new opportunities for artists. Please submit your interest in joining Chutzpah Dance for the 2025-2026 year! 

We are looking for tap and contemporary dancers (aged 21+) for our 2025-2026 season. We are working on developing new works for the season with self-produced performances in the summer 2025 and spring 2026, with likely more performances throughout the year. We typically perform 10-20 performances a season. Rehearsals are once a week for 2-3 hours for the professional company. The professional company receives a small stipend per performance with room to grow as the company continues to expand. 

This spring we are introducing a training company which is geared towards pre-professional and early career dancers (aged 16-25) that want to train and perform as part of Chutzpah Dance. The training company would meet 2.5 to 3 hours a week for a company class led by Artistic Director or company members and engaging in a rehearsal process of repertory work. Training company will perform alongside the main company this summer. There is a fee $400 to participate in training company. Scholarship opportunities are available. 

The invited audition will take place on February 28th 12-2pm or 4-6pm and location disclosed via email. 

Please check us out at our upcoming performance, Unshaken, at the 14th Street Y at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets can be found here: https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/chutzpahdance/unshakenchutzpahdance#
