Since its inception in 2008, YDT has grown to have a big impact on the young people from the QEHS community. The core values which combine a nurturing approach with a focus on high quality dance are well established among the growing numbers of students who have been involved. Being a member of YDT is a transformational experience; students learn to develop their dance technique at the same time as being part of a very progressive company. I have seen them grow in confidence, self-esteem, skill and stature and, at the same time, they have developed a strong sense of mutual respect and teamwork.
