What and who do you meet on your journey through life? Where does the problem with knife crime and gangs begin? How does it end?

A high energy and deeply poignant piece created in collaboration with the dancers that explores some of the challenges they face as young people today.

This is East London Dance’s flagship company celebrating the creative achievements of young East Londoners aged 16 – 24. ELDYDC has performed at a wide range of venues including Stratford Circus, Hackney Empire, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, Sadler's Wells and the Lilian Baylis Theatre.

This year the company will be representing London at Youth Dance England's National Youth Dance Festival in July.

The company members are chosen through auditions that take place yearly. For more information on auditioning in September 2008, please contact East London Dance on 020 8279 1050 or visit www.myspace.com/eastlondondance.
