YOUTH DANCE THEATER
​City in Motion's YDT program is one of only a few in the nation that focuses on guiding young dancers in
developing an appreciation for the creative process. Our dancers are encouraged to develop and perform their own choreography, honing their skills by working closely with professional dance artists in a supportive environment on pieces of artistic merit. They are also given excellent technical training in a variety of dance styles, and have the opportunity to perform in multiple dance productions including their own annual recital where they learn the fundamentals of producing a dance concert in a theater setting.
​
Participating students have gone on to receive college dance scholarships and to become professional dance artists in both local and nationally known dance companies.
