Youth Company Auditions
We are excited to be holding auditions for our new YOUTH company! Wildwood Youth Company audition has been extended to JULY 1, 2025!
This will be an VIDEO audition only
Our Youth Company program will be offered to high school aged dancers who would like to be part of our company (this includes anyone going into 9th grade this coming school year, through to having graduated from high school 2025). Accepted dancers will then be invited to participate in any or all film projects we mount throughout the year, as their studio commitments allow (studio commitments take priority). This is a great opportunity to get professional company experience and add it to your dance resume!
Following auditions, we will host a one week long summer intensive in late July 28-August 1, 2025, for new youth members, where we will choreograph and film a new work on the young dancers for premier in fall 2025. If you are accepted in the Youth Company, a one-time tuition fee of $175 will be due for the week intensive. This includes all class time, filming, costumes, and any future involvement with Wildwood Dance Project dance films (you would not pay to be involved in the future as a member of the Youth Company). Financial hardship scholarships are available.

What is required of company members?
Wildwood nurtures a consistent creative community. We value each dancer and look for ways to highlight their strengths and creativity, and offer opportunities for dancers to grow their creative resumes.
To be a member of the company, we ask that dancers attend a weekly dance class of their choice (to keep up technique), and be involved in at least two dance films each year, either as a dancer/performer, choreographer, film editor, cinematographer, or filming assistant.
Wildwood choreographs and films 3-4 dance films each year. We host 2-3 rehearsals during evenings when we near a filming project. Our filming dates usually coincide with a weekend, and require dancers and filming assistants to commit to a mutually agreed upon date and time frame. 4-6 hours of filming over a weekend is usual.
