New England Youth Dance Exchange

NEYDEX is a youth centered, day of dance in a non-competitive atmosphere. Dance studios from across New England come together for a day of master classes, concert style performance education, and a formal performance showcase. Feedback on the performance is given privately by a panel of dance professionals. Feedback and panel scores are designed for the self-development of all participants, not for placement and awards. Choreographers and directors have the opportunity to engage in open dialogue about productions, choreographic processes, and student development.Through our one-day event, students will go through the rigors of a professional style dance production in an active dance theatre. They will become "professional dancers," learning all the elements of a professional performance experience, and take classes, all while meeting other young artists who share the same dreams.
