About DJD
The DJD professional company is the heart of the organization. We are creation-based and present a season of new work annually. Contracts run full-time for 36-42 weeks per year for a group of 8-12 dancers. National auditions for both our dance company and our professional training program take place annually.
About the Professional Training Program
The Professional Training Program (PTP) at DJD allows 10-15 advanced level dancers an eight-month intensive training experience. The program runs half days, Monday to Friday from September to May. Dancers auditioning for the Professional Training Program must be at least 18 years of age and interested in furthering their knowledge of jazz dance and the work of DJD.
DJD encourages all dancers, regardless of financial situation, to audition for the Professional Training Program. Bursaries and scholarships may be a possibility for the 2023/24 season.
