Company Jinks Training Company
Now in our 9th cycle with over 400 dancers having joined the company through this program, these training sessions are the core of what Company Jinks is. They are designed to create a space that nurtures our values of love, community and connection. We train hard in many styles, at an advanced level, but we pride ourselves in going beyond this - using our time together to connect and develop who we are as artists and humans - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We are an inclusive company that celebrates individuality and authenticity, welcoming people from all walks of life and prioritising presence and community as we remember what dance can truly do for us as humans, individually and collectively.
The training program runs twice a year for 8 weeks each term. We usually train Oct/Nov & April/May. It is aimed at dancers aged 18+ at intermediate/advanced level. Most members are working professional dancers in the industry but we also accept students in training and dancers that simply dance for fun. We have dancers from contemporary, hip hop, freestyle and other backgrounds - all ways are welcome at CJ. Yes, the dancers are talented, but this isn't the priority when choosing company members - we love having a vast range of life experience in the family so we can learn from each other beyond the 5678. To get a better taste of what we do, visit the 'London' story highlight on our Instagram.
Currently, our program is only running in London - although previously and at some point soon we also house our family in Manchester. The sessions are 4 hours long and we have 4 different London training groups - making sure there's a time that suits everybody whilst also keeping the amount of family in the room at a good number for connection and space. Applications are done online and only open around once per year. Keep a lookout on our instagram for the next opening, and if you have any questions feel free to drop an email to info@companyjinks.com
