Based on audition workshops that take place twice yearly, COAST meet and train for 2.5 hours weekly and spend time during school holidays with nationally renowned choreographers & companies such as Kay Crook, VERVE, Zoie Golding (ZoieLogic), 2Faced Dance Company and Uchenna Dance. COAST Youth Dance Company is our resident company for dancers aged 14 – 19 years (up to 25 years for young people with disabilities) from across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and surrounding areas. As a result of such conversations with the 2022 COAST cohort, the company have recently made new original live dance work, film work, collaborated with live musicians & artists & hope to tour to local schools delivering performances and peer-led workshops. They also receive careers advice, dance pathway opportunities & training in enterprise and fundraising skills. There is also a COAST representative role available for aspiring leaders. There is a participation fee of £395 per year. Bursaries are available. COAST is a safe space open to all genders and welcome dancers from different backgrounds and different dance styles.
