Chameleon Youth

Chameleon Youth, Manchester’s youth dance company, is back and calling out for new members for 2020/21!

We’re excited to announce that this year’s Chameleon Youth Audition will take place on Sunday 1 November 2020 at Chameleon Studios.

If you’re age 11 to 21 (Juniors 11-16 / Seniors 16-21), this is an incredible opportunity to be part of a dance company that’s inspiring and different to the mainstream.

Launched in 2016 by Company Chameleon, members of the youth company learn directly from a professional dance company, which for over a decade, has performed across the world giving new meaning to dance and movement.

As a member of Chameleon Youth, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Train with Company Chameleon’s professional dance artists.
• Create work collaboratively with guest choreographers.
• Grow your individuality as a young dance artist.

Now in its fifth year, Chameleon Youth’s programme has something unique to offer. Our nurturing and supportive working environment encourages young people to find their creative voice through dance and movement.

Additionally, Chameleon Youth is the only youth dance company in the region to be part of a professional dance company, which means dancers are taught by professionals with substantial experience of performing worldwide and working in the national and international dance sector. Through Chameleon Youth, we pass on this knowledge and experience to create a unique youth dance offer.

Along with past performance opportunities as part of U.Dance at The Lowry and the Yorkshire Youth Dance Platform at Phoenix Dance Theatre, last year, Chameleon Youth created and performed the curtain raiser at the world premiere of Chameleon’s new theatre production, The Shadow, performed at HOME in Manchester. From the rehearsal process and dress rehearsal to the performance itself, the experience gave everyone involved invaluable insight into life as a professional dancer.
