The Collective

Our Mission

As a fiscal sponsored project of Dancer's Group, NCDA’s Teen Dance Collective's mission is to inspire the next generation of young artists through further advancing the dance education of its members by exposing the dancers to professional instructors and choreographers, thus developing technically proficient artists. Additionally, The Collective strives to promote a deeper understanding of the cultural value of dance within the community by offering several performance venues and showcasing works by professional choreographers.

About The Collective

NCDA is auditioning teen dancers of the bay area ages 13-18 to create the new Bay Area Teen Dance Collective. As a member of the Collective dancers will be able to train and perform in such styles as Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acro, and Tap. Each member will be given the unique opportunity to customize their training by choosing what specific styles of dance they want to focus on training and performing in. The Collective members will perform throughout the SF Bay Area, and be given opportunities to travel.
