Youth Dance Maker's Initiative acknowledges the people of the Kulin Nations as the Traditional Custodians of the land and surrounding waters where we meet, create and perform. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging, recognising the rich customs and practices that have taken place here for thousands of years, and extend that respect to all First Nations people.

Youth Dance Maker's Initiative strongly believes that young voices have ideas, skills and talent worth bringing to the fore. We strive to create a safe, inclusive and encouraging environment for young people to develop their creative, collaborative and expressive skills, connect with a diverse range of dance and interdisciplinary artists and expand perceptions of dance as an artform. It is our mission to empower young people with the tools and confidence to express their ideas and perspectives through movement and performance making.
"Youth Dance Makers has changed my life and the way I view dance forever. It made me feel empowered, and helped me to use my voice through the medium I love most. I learnt so much and had an all round great time!"
