BROOKLYN, NY - Dancewave is proud to announce our 2013-2014 Company auditions. The Dancewave Company experience is an immersive, pre-professional modern training program for young dancers. Starting with Young Movers Ensemble for 10-13 year olds through Dance Company I (high school junior and seniors), our young dancers gain the opportunity to grow through an increasingly challenging program that incorporates modern and ballet technique classes, rehearsals with renowned choreographers, and a wide variety of exciting performing opportunities. This training provides young artists in the making with artistically substantial learning experiences while guiding their needs for individual achievement and team work building in an atmosphere of respect and open
communication.

Our Dancewave Companies enjoy a rich array of opportunities to experience exemplary works of art beginning with the opportunity to learn landmark pieces of modern choreography under the mentorship of leading choreographers such as: Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, Bill T. Jones, Garth Fagan, Susan Marshall, Mark Morris, Donald Byrd, Trisha Brown, Doug Varone, Lar Lubovitch, Christal Brown, Donald McKayle, Meredith Monk, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Elisa Monte, Sara Pearson/Patrick Widrig, Carla Maxwell (Limon-based), David Dorfman, Ronald K. Brown, and Andrea Miller. Our companies have been invited to perform at venues such as Governor's Arts Awards, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New Museum, Bay Street Theatre, Joyce Theatre, PS 122, The Brooklyn Children's Museum, The Kitchen, DanceNOW Festival, City Park Foundation's Summerstage and on PBS.
