The Chair of National Youth Dance Trust, Susannah Simons, today announces that following a review of its operations trading under the name National Youth Dance Company, National Youth Dance Trust, with the support of Arts Council England, is to link up with Youth Dance England, the newly formed national organisation for youth dance established through funding from the Department of Education and Skills' Music and Dance Scheme. as a former member of National Youth Dance Company I think this is rather good news, i've often advocated that NYDC should be the benchmark for youth dance practice, and that the regional companies should scale to it's level, so perhaps something like that may start to happen.
Anne Went (Middlesex University) also deserves a mention for her innovative and inspiring dance training, I learned a lot from my time with NYDC and I hope it will benefit many other young dancers in the years to come.
