NCDC & NJDTE dancers in Francois Perron's master class. Earlier this month, the east coast met the west coast when NJDTE welcomed 20 dancers from Northern California Dance Conservatory to Summit for a day of collaboration and sharing.
NJDTE and NCDC dancers joined together for master classes with renowned international dance artists Francois Perron and Bradley Shelver at NJDTE. The companies also presented a sharing of their repertory, followed by a meet-the-artists reception. A highlight was NCDC's performance of NJDTE alumnus Darwin Black's "Knock Knock," a work he staged for them just last year.

NCDC dancers in Jen Bradford's "Fun and Games." “It’s inspiring to collaborate with a like-minded organization who shares the similar vision of providing the highest caliber of pre-professional training, access to master artists and choreographers, and performance opportunities to the next generation of dancers.” NJDTE Artistic Director Nancy Turano said. “It was exciting to have our dancers share the studio and build relationships with the phenomenal NCDC dancers, and I look forward to developing this valuable bi-coastal partnership into the future."
NCDC Artistic Director Jen Bradford agrees. "Nancy and I feel it is important to facilitate dialogue and build relationships between young dancers that might bloom into opportunity, friendship and support," she said.
This is only the beginning of NJDTE's bi-coastal initiative. Stay tuned!
