23-24 NEW LIGHT DANCE PROJECT


MISSION

The mission of NLDP is to spread new light about dance in our area on the Emerald Coast as a pre-professional dance company.  NLDP will push the boundaries of how dance is perceived and formulate true artistry from each individual dancer while intensely building their foundation of technique and strength. It will expose students to the world of working for a professional dance company and hold a high standard for each of its dancers. Dancers will work closely with Guest Artists with their training and choreography. All dancers will perform locally, regionally, and at the national level and will build working relations with professionals currently in the dance industry.
