The Hatchling program is a new portion of the SCDT Young Artist Program, giving 10-12 year old dancers, and performers a chance to see what it’s like to be part of an inclusive performing arts community.

These movement classes consist of a Modern Dance warm up followed by a choreography lab. During our choreography lab, we will focus on using objects and costumes as duet partners and source material. We will experiment with various choreographic methodologies, both uncovering themes through physical research and allowing predetermined concepts to drive choreographic inquiry. This class is for all levels of experience, and meets twice per week. On Sundays, the Hatchlings will have a short combined class with Hatchery Dance Company, and then will have their own rehearsal time as well.
