We are currently on the search for Professional Contemporary Dancers, prioritising those from the Midlands, to take part in the Opening Ceremony of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. 

 What we are looking for:

We are looking for professional contemporary dancers aged 18+ with a minimum of 3-years of professional experience, with an extremely high level of technique and performance quality.

You should be comfortable working at height. We are interested in performers who also have a circus, gymnastics, hip hop or parkour background, and experience in dancing for the camera. We actively encourage people from diverse backgrounds to apply.

 Salary: £34,642.40 per annum pro rata 

Note: fees are paid on a monthly basis and include pay in lieu of holiday and a pension contribution. There will also be an increased fee for the final week of production.
