MOVE|NYC| BUILDS DIVERSITY IN THE FIELD BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP FOR MOTIVATED AND TALENTED YOUNG ARTISTS, PRIMARILY THOSE FACING OPPORTUNITY BARRIERS. EACH YEAR, WE SERVE OVER 150 TALENTED ARTISTS AGED 13-25, SUPPORTING DANCERS FROM JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL THROUGH THE EARLY DAYS OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL DANCE CAREERS. MOVE|NYC| IS ALSO A VITAL LAUNCHPAD FOR SOME OF THE INDUSTRY'S MOST PROMISING EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHERS.MOVE|NYC|'S CORE PROGRAM, THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS PROGRAM (YPP), IS A TUITION-FREE, YEAR-ROUND MENTORSHIP, ARTISTIC TRAINING, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR DANCERS AGED 13-18 RESIDING IN NYC WHO WOULD OTHERWISE LACK THE FINANCIAL MEANS TO TRAIN AT A COMPETITIVE LEVEL. YPP PROVIDES UP TO 50 YOUNG ARTISTS WITH 10-15 PUBLIC PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES PER YEAR, OVER 500 HOURS ANNUALLY OF RIGOROUS AND SEQUENTIAL CONSERVATORY-BASED CURRICULUM, INDIVIDUALIZED CAREER GUIDANCE, AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES, ENABLING THEM TO DEVELOP INTO VERSATILE, SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS, AND SELF-SUFFICIENT ARTISTS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING ARTISTIC TRAINING, WE ARE UNIQUELY COMMITTED TO THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF EACH YOUNG ARTIST THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE PROFESSIONAL AND PEER MENTORSHIP, AUDITION COACHING, AND CAREER MANAGEMENT SEMINARS, AS THESE TOOLS ARE JUST AS VITAL AS THE PHYSICAL TRAINING NECESSARY FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN DANCE. MOVE|NYC| OFFERS TWO ADDITIONAL ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS: PRE-YPP AND OPEN ACCESS INTENSIVE, EACH OF WHICH OFFERS THE SAME RIGOROUS INSTRUCTION AND INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT AS YPP, BUT WITH MORE FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF TIME COMMITMENT AND LEVEL OF TECHNICAL ABILITY. BOTH PROGRAMS HAVE SERVED AS TRAINING GROUNDS FOR DANCERS WHO LATER WENT ON TO JOIN YPP, ENABLING US TO IDENTIFY AND NURTURE TALENT AT EVERY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT. PRE-YPP IS A TUITION-FREE HIGH SCHOOL PREPAREDNESS AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAM FOR NYC-BASED DANCERS IN SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE, DESIGNED TO PREPARE APPROXIMATELY 10 YOUNG DANCERS ANNUALLY FOR A SUCCESSFUL HIGH SCHOOL CAREER. PRE-YPP OPERATES FROM AUGUST TO JUNE ANNUALLY, AND MIRRORS THE YPP CURRICULUM. OPEN ACCESS INTENSIVE IS AN ANNUAL WEEK-LONG WINTER WORKSHOP SERVING 40 TALENTED YOUTH AGED 13 - 18 WHO RESIDE IN THE TRI-STATE AREA, INCLUDING LONG ISLAND, NJ, AND CT. DESIGNED TO WELCOME YOUNG DANCERS WHO LIVE BOTH IN AND OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY, THE PROGRAM TAKES PLACE ALONGSIDE THE YPP WINTER INTENSIVE, CULMINATING IN A SHOWCASE FOR PUBLIC AUDIENCES.MOVE|NYC|'S THIRD ANNUAL D.C.

THIS INTENSIVE CULTIVATES DANCERS AT EVERY TECHNICAL LEVEL, FOSTERING THEIR GROWTH AND POTENTIAL IN AN INCLUSIVE, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT.OUR PEER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM AND MOVE THE FIELD INTERNSHIP PROGRAM PROVIDE YPP ALUMNI WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE INDUSTRY CONNECTIONS AND SUCCESSFULLY BEGIN THEIR PROFESSIONAL CAREERS. THE PEER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS A PAID YEAR-ROUND INITIATIVE THAT PAIRS 10-12 RECENT YPP ALUMNI WITH CURRENT YPP PARTICIPANTS, PROVIDING ALUMNI WITH EXPERIENCE IN ADVISING YOUNG ARTISTS. PEER MENTORS ARE ALSO ABLE TO WORK WITH MOVE|NYC| LEADERSHIP TO CULTIVATE THE NECESSARY SKILLS TO DEVELOP INTO SUCCESSFUL ARTISTIC LEADERS. MOVE THE FIELD INTERNSHIPS OFFER YPP ALUMNI HANDS-ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WITH PROFESSIONAL DANCE COMPANIES, INCLUDING WORKING AS A REHEARSAL ASSISTANT, LEARNING FOUNDATIONAL PRODUCTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS, AND ATTENDING LIVE PERFORMANCE VIEWINGS. SWEAT LAB IS A WEEK-LONG SUMMER RESIDENCY THAT GIVES YPP ALUMS WHO ARE EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP NEW WORK IN A SUPPORTIVE AND COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT. OVER THE COURSE OF THE RESIDENCY, TWO CHOREOGRAPHERS EACH WORK WITH SIX PAID PROFESSIONAL DANCERS WHO ARE YPP ALUMNI TO DEVELOP AN ORIGINAL PIECE. THE CHOREOGRAPHERS ALSO EACH RECEIVE A STIPEND, DEDICATED MENTORSHIP AND GUIDANCE FROM A PROFESSIONAL CHOREOGRAPHER, A FULLY PRODUCED SHOWCASE OF THEIR WORK, AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES WITH LEADERS IN THE FIELD.
