About

The Cambridge Youth Dance Program is a pre-professional training program and performance company for young dancers, based at the Deborah Mason Performing Arts Center. Students train intensively across ballet, modern, character, Broadway, tap, jazz and drama, and the CYDP Dance Company performs this range of styles for audiences.

As a nonprofit, CYDP aims to help a diverse group of young people pursue dance as a career, including through scholarships. It also encourages dancers to explore related paths such as choreography and arts administration, and it offers performing opportunities both locally and nationally.
