The Youth Performance Company
AUDITIONS 2024/2025 SEASON
Monday | September 9, 2024
5:30pm - 7:00pm | CDC Studios - 950 Dupont St. Toronto
Calling all avid dancers, ages 12-17, who love to dance and love being part of a team! The Youth Performance Company (YPC) is a dance company dedicate to dancers who have enjoyed dance more seriously than a recreational dancer.
​
The audition will consist of dancers learning two short routines in a classroom setting, and then dancing those routines for the choreographers/judges to assess. Dance level is important, but even more important is the dancers ability to focus, try their best, and keep a positive attitude!
THE YPC
For aspiring dancers, ages 12 - 17, the YPC is a training and performing company that learns from the city's best educators/choreographers in the field of dance.
​
We teach professionalism, dedication, and community values through a welcoming, non-judgemental and safe environment.
​
We encourage the individual artistry of each dancer.
​
We provide performance opportunities beyond yearly recitals. From concept videos to the stage, our YPC members get a full range of experiences.
​
Whether the dancer choose to pursue a career in dance or not as they become young adults, the values and lessons learned as being part of a dance troup will follow them throughout the rest of their lives.
THE SCHEDULE
The members of the YPC must be available for weekly mandatory classes on:​
​
Mondays, 5pm - 7pm
Thursdays, 5pm - 7pm
Fridays, 5pm - 7pm
​
This program includes 6 hours of training weekly.
​
In addition to weekly rehearsals, dancers will have 3 seminars throughout the year aimed to inform and develop positive and healthy habits such as goal setting, positive body image and more.
Established in 2002.
Dance More. Live More.

Hello!
My name is Sadie, and I am a professional Toronto-based artist. I have a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from York University. As a longtime dance educator, I am thrilled to share my knowledge and passion for dance and performance with the talented cohort of the Youth Performance Company.
For me, dance is so much more than copying movements from a teacher, or another dancer. Dance is a form of artistic expression that starts from within. It is a tool to explore our identity and the world around us. Dance celebrates individuality, and pushes the limits of emotional communication. It is a privilege to be able to be able to dance!
With a focus on developing the artist within each dancer, this season we will be challenging ourselves to learn and grow in a variety of areas that come together to create an impactful dance artist:
​​Quality of Movement
Technical Conditioning
Performance Quality
Improvisational Technique
Partner Work
Creating Choreography
​
I am beyond excited to work with the next generation of dance artists, while celebrating the beautiful individuality each student brings. If you have any questions for me about this season, please do not hesitate to get in touch, at ypc@citydancecorps.com
Let’s move together!
Sadie
