This February, Nederlands Dans Theater 2 (NDT 2) tours the USA. NDT 2 is the launching pad for young dancers, who are carefully selected through auditions. It is the company's breeding ground, where talented dancers grow up and young up-and-coming choreographers get the chance to develop. NDT's youth arm will perform in New York (Joyce Theater), Portland (White Bird), Santa Barbara (University of California) and Scotsdale (Center of the Performing Arts).
