The Young Choreographer's Festival

**MASKS are required for all audience members at The Young Choreographer's Festival; thank you for supporting us in our mission of inclusion and access for all!

Recently featured in Dance Magazine, and celebrating our 14th year of presenting some of the most up and coming young artists in all genres of dance, The Young Choreographer’s Festival is producing the work of 18-27 year old choreographers, selected by a highly esteemed curation panel alongside Guest Artists at Symphony Space in NYC!

Esteemed YCF Alumni have gone on to choreograph for Dancing with the Stars, renowned concert dance companies around the world, recording artists, and have won TONY and Princess Grace Awards for their work in choreography.
