Portland Youth Dance is a non-competitive, pre-professional training program for dancers 10-18 years old. PYD has three groups: PYD2, an exploratory program for beginner—intermediate dancers 10-18 years old; Company, for intermediate and advanced dancers 12-18 years old interested in contemporary, modern, and jazz forms; and Crew, for intermediate and advanced dancers 12-18 years old interested in hip hop forms.   Members of PYD are given superior technical instruction, outstanding and diverse choreography, numerous performance and travel opportunities, and direct involvement with our community programs. Click here to learn more about the requirements and schedules for each group. 

About the Audition: Dancers do not need to prepare any material for the audition, which consists of a short ballet barre, modern dance phrase, jazz phrase across the floor, hip hop combination, and freestyle.  Dancers should plan to arrive no later than 12:45 pm to sign in and prepare.
