The Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company is Looking for Male, Female and Nonbinary Dancers for its New Ensemble
To be a good artist is not enough, you also have to be a good and caring person!
We are seeking dancers with extensive experience in improvisation and with a strong contemporary dance technique. Ballet technique is not required, but if you are a ballet dancer who is also skilled in improvisation we would still love to hear from you. Dancers with other backgrounds are also encouraged to apply, however, you need to master your dance craft at a very high level.
Stamina and endurance as well as mental and emotional strength are essential, regardless of your dance background, and communication skills are of prime importance.
Contract: We will offer one-year seasonal contracts plus preparation contract. The new ensemble will start rehearsing 17 July 2023. We hope to build long-term working relationships.
