This month, director and choreographer Quinn Wharton spent time in the studio with our Company dancers on a new work about coming of age.⁠
⁠
Quinn's built a career shooting and directing organization and artists around the country. As one of our Teaching Artists in Residence, he brings his same creative vision into the room with our students, on and off camera.
⁠
Quinn's piece is being featured in NDI's Spring Into Motion performance on February 20-21, 2027 at The Dance Barns!

This month at The Dance Barns, our students had the chance to train with guest teacher Felipe Moltedo of Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Co.

Experiences like this are part of our pre-professional Company track, Junior Company, Apprentice Company, and Company XCel, giving dancers performance opportunities and scholarship support toward summer training.
