Youth Dance Maker’s Initiative strongly believes that young voices have ideas, skills and talent worth bringing to the fore. We strive to create a safe, inclusive and encouraging environment for young people to develop their creative, collaborative and expressive skills, connect with a diverse range of dance and interdisciplinary artists and expand perceptions of dance as an artform. It is our mission to empower young people with the tools and confidence to express their ideas and perspectives through movement and performance making.
