I can't find the words to express what my CCYDC experience has meant to me... Kay as an inspiring strong woman, and mesmerising force of movement and CCYDC as a collective joy...
Jessy Mackay, EYDC 2016/17
Chhaya's Exeter Youth Dance Company was established in 2015 and provides an excellent opportunity for young dancers, aged 13 to 21 years, to develop their technical, creative and performance skills.
The company runs a weekly class at the Exeter Phoenix Dance Studio and strives to offer dancers an insight into the multidisciplinary, intercultural and diverse ways of working as a professional dance artist. The classes are primarily contemporary based, but dancers will engage with a range of styles, including Bollywood, Bharatanatyam, Kalari Payattu, African Forms, Social dances and Contact Partnering.
Chhaya Youth are regularly involved in film projects, live performances, site specific performance, curtain raisers for visiting companies and workshops from renowned professional artists.
