San Diego Dance Theater annually seeks newly emerging dancemakers to participate in the Emerging Choreographers Showcase & Awards, a competition that awards three prizes to participants: Best Overall Choreography, Best Dancer, and Audience Favorite.

 

This exhilarating show is a beloved staple in San Diego, with its main purpose being to bring exposure and support to growing choreographers in the community. This year, we have removed the age requirements to include dancemakers who emerge at any age in life.  

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OF THE 2022 YOUNG CHOREOGRAPHERS SHOWCASE!
