Summer Youth/EMPOWER & Adult New Paradigm Dance Theater Company Opportunities!

New Paradigm Dance Theater website

Are you ready to take your dance journey to the next level? This fall, NPDT once again invites dancers ages 12 and up (from level D to Adult and EMPOWER dancers) to be a part of something bold, creative, and transformative.

Our four companies aren’t just training programs —  they are an opportunity to grow as an artist, deepen your technique, and be part of a vibrant, collaborative community of dancers. You'll have the opportunity to learn, rehearse, and perform ballet, contemporary, and modern works choreographed by our co-artistic directors, Chris Harris and Julia Wilkinson Manley, as well as guest artists.

NDPT dancers fulfill summer training requirements and audition each season. 

NPDT auditions for the 2026-2027 season will take place on August 1: 

• 11:45-1:15 NPDT Youth Company Auditions

• 1:45-2:45 NPDT Mini Auditions - Level D & E

• 3:00-4:00 NPDT Empower Auditions

• 4:15-5:45 NPDT Adult Company Auditions

All NPDT dancers are expected to meet 2026 NPDT Summer Training Requirements. These can be fulfilled through a combination of week-long intensives and drop-in classes. Rest assured, there are plenty of class options available to meet these requirements!
Level D Summer Requirements:  36 classes at CML (approximately 3 weeks of summer training)
Level E Summer Requirements: 60 classes at CML (approximately 3-3.5 weeks of summer training)

At NPDT, we believe dance has no limits. Our creations defy boundaries — they’re inspired by movement and art, not just style or technique. So bring your individuality, your voice, and your passion.

Let’s continue to redefine what dance can be. Let’s create something extraordinary — together.

There’s a place for you. Are you in?
