ACCENT DANCE NYC was founded to celebrate multiculturalism through dance and prioritizes hiring artists who reflect the communities we serve. BIPOC and immigrant artists are especially encouraged to apply, though all are welcome. Artists interested in working with youth are also encouraged.

TO APPLY, PLEASE SEND THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS ASAP TO Kim@accent.dance

If you are chosen, in our programs you will need to perform a 2-3 minute solo that includes breakdancing, as well as demonstrate and speak about the different styles of hip hop dance, and lead some audience participation.
