Meet the NPDT Companies

Our three companies are training programs where dedicated students are given the opportunity to learn, rehearse, and perform classical ballet, contemporary, and modern works set by the artistic directors and guest choreographers. But in reality, our creations will not be limited by style and technique. Let’s expand our definitions of dance!

Meet our New Paradigm Dance Theater Companies

Youth Company

Dancers ages 12-25 learn and perform inventive works that span many genres and that push the creative envelope. Rehearsing weekly 8-10 hours, the company travels to dance festivals each year to perform and take classes, and they perform in local schools and senior centers. Their season culminates in a performance in a local professional theater.

Adult Company

Dancers age 18+ rehearse 3-5 hours per week, learning fulfilling, creative choreography. These dancers perform for senior centers and local events, and their season culminates in a performance in a local professional theater.

EMPOWER Dance Company

This amazing company is for teens and adults with special needs who have a comprehensive vocabulary in dance. Dancers rehearse for up to one hour per week with extra rehearsals when performances get near. These dancers perform for schools and senior centers, and their season culminates in a performance in a local professional theater.
