The Junior Company of the Dutch National Ballet is a talent development programme for young dancers. Since its establishment in 2013, it has garnered a reputation for fostering promising new talents.

‍

Every season, the Junior Company tours the nation with its own programme of repertoire choreographies as well as new creations. Many former participants have gone on to be selected for the Dutch National Ballet.

‍

From season 2023/2024 onwards, the Junior Company expands its activities with the production of a new performance at Studio Boekman. Sedrig Verwoert is the first choreographer to be selected for this commission piece.

‍

Ammodo has supported the Junior Company since 2016, with funding committed until 2027.
