Youth Dance
Dance. Move. Create.
For young people aged 12–18
Eleni Youth Dance is back.
We’re re-launching our highly respected youth dance programme, creating a welcoming space for young people aged 12–18 to move, create and connect, outside of school and on your own terms.
Youth Dance is about enjoying movement, feeling good in your body, and being part of something positive. It’s not about being perfect or already knowing how to dance.

Youth Dance is for you if you:
-
like music, movement or being creative
-

-
want to meet new people and make friends
-

What Youth Dance is like
Youth Dance sessions are:relaxed, friendly and welcoming
led by professional dance artists
creative and fun
shaped by the group and your ideas
a mix of movement, music and making
​
Sometimes sessions might lead to sharing or performing, but only if that feels right for you
“Working with New Dance (now Eleni) as a teenager showed me how vital youth dance provision can be — not just for personal development, but for opening doors that once felt out of reach.”— Youth Dance alumni
“Youth dance connected me to national pathways and gave me opportunities I wouldn’t otherwise have had at that age.”— Youth Dance alumni
“The training, choreographic tools and creative tasks I learned through youth dance still shape my practice today.”— Youth Dance alumni
Why dance?
Dance can help you:
boost your mood and mental wellbeing
feel stronger and more comfortable in your body
stay active
express yourself in new ways
feel connected and less alone
Moving together can be powerful, and also just really enjoyable.
YOUTH DANCE is re-launching soon!
As part of Eleni’s 50th anniversary year, we’re re-launching Youth Dance with a pilot programme in Llangollen. We’re building on Eleni’s long history of youth dance, while shaping sessions around what young people want now.
