YDance (Scottish Youth Dance) was set up in 1988 as an annual Summer School for teenagers and has since grown into a year-round operation. We encourage all young people to get active and develop their creativity through dance.
Project Y is our dance company for young people aged 16 to 21. Created to bridge the gap between local dance classes/youth dance groups and professional training the participants spend 4 weeks during the summer holidays working with some of the best choreographers the UK has to offer. We create productions specifically for young people and tour them into schools and arts venues across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. We also work in partnership with a range of agencies including the Scottish Arts Council, SportScotland, Local Authorities and the Scottish Executive Health Improvement Strategy Division, addressing a range of objectives – creativity, artistic development, increasing physical activity, improving health, personal and social development.
