YDE Young Creatives

YDE Young Creatives is an annual project that focuses on choreographers aged 15 to 19*, providing them with mentoring, residential workshops, and phenomenal performance opportunities.

In 2010, 13 highly talented young choreographers were selected to showcase their diverse selection of 12 pieces of work at a one-off, public performance in Linbury Studio Theatre at the Royal Opera House on April 9th. 

The young choreographers went through a rigorous 4-day training residential at the Royal Ballet School's White Lodge, where they were challenged to create two new dance pieces in two days to help further their choreographic skills. These new works were premiered alongside their original 12 pieces in this once-in-a-life-time opportunity at the famous Royal Opera House in London.
