The Junior / Transition section is formed by young dancers between the ages of 12 and 19. To apply you must be in secondary school.

Junior / Transition members are selected via audition and in some special cases by invitation.

We expect from applicants a natural ability for movement, ideally some experience in contemporary dance, ballet or urban styles.

Junior / Transition DYDC meets every Saturday 10am - 3.30pm in Dance House, Foley Street, Dublin 1.

Each Saturday consists of ballet and contemporary classes followed by a rehearsal for the creation of original dance pieces to be performed throughout the year at different events and festivals.

Junior / Transition members that develop and progress significantly will be encouraged to audition for the Senior section when they have developed their technical ability, maturity & commitment and understanding of additional contemporary dance elements such as partnering, improvisation & performance skills.

The Senior section is formed by dancers between the ages of 16 - 25, dancers are selected via audition and invitation based on their ability, maturity and commitment.

The Senior section provides a platform for dancers that are considering a professional dance career, offering training at a pre-professional level, guidance, mentoring and links within the dance industry.

Senior DYDC also offers a platform for creativity and challenge to those dancers that simply love dancing and performing but might not choose to follow a professional path.

Senior DYDC meets every Sunday 11am - 4pm in Dance Theatre of Ireland's centre for Dance, Bloomfield Shopping Centre, Dún Laoghaire.

Each Sunday consists of technical class followed by a rehearsal for the creation of original dance pieces to be performed throughout the year at different events and festivals.

Senior DYDC often participates in projects with professional choreographers and exchanges with other youth dance companies and travels outside Ireland to perform at youth dance festivals and events.
