Emerging Choreographers: A Platform for New Voices, Fresh Ideas, and Artistic Innovation
Are you an aspiring choreographer with a story to tell through movement?
This special category as part of AmsterDans International Dance Competition celebrates emerging creative voices who are ready to explore, experiment, and share their vision on stage. Whether you’re a student, a developing artist, or simply passionate about creating dance, this is your opportunity to be seen, supported, and celebrated.
Choreographers aged 16 and above are invited to present original work featuring a minimum of two and a maximum of twenty dancers of any age. Pieces may be created in any dance genre and must not exceed five minutes.
Designed to highlight original choreographic work across all styles, this category encourages you to take risks, blend influences, and express your unique artistic identity.
The jury will evaluate your piece based on the choreography—your concept, structure, and the way you integrate music, movement, and emotion to create a coherent and meaningful experience.
Cash prizes of up to €500 will be awarded to choreographers whose works stand out for their creativity, clarity, and artistic excellence. Performance opportunities and residencies at ICK https://ickamsterdam.nl/en/ may also be given as a prize.
