YouDance Festival 2023

YouDance is back for 2023 with two fantastic nights of fresh and inspiring work. This year the festival will showcase a tremendous depth of talent from rangatahi around Tāmaki Makaurau, coming from over 15 different secondary schools, youth dance companies and youth groups.

Across the two different performances at Raye Freedman, this diverse cast will perform dances
derived from a huge variety of sources in a feast of creativity and expression.

The festival celebrates difference, innovation and what is important to these young artists through
dance and movement.

We welcome you to come and be inspired by these amazing young choreographers and dancers!

YouDance 2023 is supported by Foundation North and Dance Studies, The University of Auckland.
