For 2026, founders of award-winning Alleyne Dance – Sadé and Kristina Alleyne – have
been appointed as Guest Artistic Directors of National Youth Dance Company (NYDC). A unique and powerful company, Alleyne Dance blends Caribbean, hip hop and kathak, within a contemporary dance context. Join us as they team up with NYDC’s young people to create a brand-new show.
