Professional Pathways
Creating Professional Opportunities
Citymoves is committed to fostering the talent of early career dance and third sector professionals through our Professional Pathways Programmes, which include internships, volunteer programmes, and networking opportunities.
​
As well as opportunities for Dance Artists to hone their craft and explore the art form, creating new works through Residencies, and offering a rotating schedule of free classes and workshops designed for dancers who want to develop technical skills and work in the guest tutor's unique style.
Professional Pathways Programmes
Youth Dance Artist Programme
Our Horizons group hosts our Youth Dance Artists Programme, wherein young people who are interested in enhancing their teaching and choreographic skills, are offered training and opportunities to develop their leadership skills. ​
​
Citymoves' Youth Dance Artists programme is one of many pre-professional opportunities that work with our participants to strengthen Professional Pathways for Dance Artists in the North East of Scotland.
Early Career Internships
Citymoves works with local Universities to create opportunities for Undergraduate Students who are considering careers in the third-sector, focusing on office skills, development projects, and innovation within a charity context.
To learn more about this new programme, please email us at citymoves@citymoves.org.uk.
​
Residencies
Citymoves support in the creation and progression of artist’s work, by opening residency applications for creative and inspiring artists to apply to enhance Scotland’s dance sector by developing and sharing their practice within our studios. This can include studio space, advice & support and, from time to time, a financial stipend.
