Trinity Laban Youth Dance Company

#TLYDC

Trinity Laban Youth Dance Company is a company of enthusiastic young dancers aged 12 to 18 years.

The best thing about TLYDC this year has been the friendships formed through learning and improving as dancers together, without any judgement from others, like a family.
