Monmouthshire Youth Dance Company
MYDC is Dance Blast's flagship Youth Contemporary Dance Company. Set up in 2007, MYDC supports and nurtures young, talented dancers in the Monmouthshire area. It provides opportunities for young dancers with an interest in Contemporary Dance to develop key dance and performance skills through weekly sessions, master classes and performance possibilities.
Dance Blast recognises that many who first join MYDC have little or no previous experience of contemporary dance, their dance experience may be in other dance styles such as ballet, modern or street dance, which is absolutely no problem.
