The Next Stage Project - A Global Dance Company
Founded in 2002 by Artistic Directors Marijke Eliasberg and Jana Hicks, The Next Stage Project (TNSP) is known for an organic movement style, full body movement and small obscure interactions, portrayed by talented and expressive dancers. By forming partnerships between selected artists from around the globe and seeking creative venues to perform our works, TNSP aims to give dancers, choreographers and artists an opportunity to connect and share their art and passion. The TNSP directors are offering Dance, Tai Chi, Yoga classes and Yoga4Cancer classes to the community.
Company dancers are selected for their commitment, passion, talent and genuine interest in collaborating with the Artistic Directors.
