21st Century Choreography Competition
Log on to the evolution.
We dance.You vote.
The votes are in, and the three finalists for the 21st Century Choreography Competition are Heather Maloy (Asheville, NC), Alex Ketley (San Francisco, CA), and Ma Cong (Tulsa, OK). These choreographers were chosen from 29 artists who applied via YouTube and were selected through a combination of YouTube ratings and evaluation by BNC’s artistic staff.
Congratulations to the finalists, and thank you to all of our competitors and viewers for participating in the first round of the competition.
Next in the competition, the three finalists will travel to Colorado to create new works with BNC’s company. We will continue to post interviews and videos throughout the process to keep you updated and plugged in – check back on this site often.
The final round of the competition is a series of six performances in April, with prominent guest judges from the Denver metro area and throughout the country. Join us for these exciting performances, and cast your own vote for our final winner.
