The Emerging Choreographer Program provides selected artists with 26 hours of studio space and the opportunity to present work alongside our Principal Companies. Incorporated within this unique professional development opportunity, Springboard provides each Emerging Choreographer with a cast of versatile dancers, who may become future collaborators, in an environment that stimulates and facilitates the creative process.

Springboard’s Emerging Choreographers have historically represented a myriad of voices, highlighting the many perspectives that comprise our ecosystem. We believe that the dance community and world at-large disproportionately favor the experiences, perspectives, and aesthetics of those from privileged backgrounds, leaving many stories untold and unwitnessed. In its selection of dance makers, Springboard does not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, color, national origin, socioeconomic background, or any other protected characteristic. We encourage all voices to apply.
