YDE Young Creatives is a Youth Dance England programme aimed at choreographers aged 15 to 19. The successful applicants are provided with mentoring, residential workshops and seminars, and phenomenal performance opportunities. Young choreographers from across England are invited to apply for YDE Young Creatives 2010 by downloading the Application pack below and submitting it to Youth Dance England by 30th November 2009, along with film footage of their piece.

Groups will be shortlisted before Christmas and those selected will be invited to bring their piece to an informal sharing at the Royal Opera House in January. A selection panel will then choose which pieces will go through to the residential and public performance in London in April 2010.
