The seasons change. And so will you.

“Becoming” is a Next Step original production that explores the growth, challenges, and transformation of a dancer’s journey through the lens of the ancient Celtic seasons. As the wheel turns from Imbolc to Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain, each season reflects a stage in the pursuit of becoming who you dream to be.

JiGGiG will be using Next Step this August to identify dancers for future opportunities🎉

Based in New York and Ohio, JiGGiG works with a national network of professional dancers to deliver high-impact performances across the US. With a commitment to prioritizing dancers first, JiGGiG strives to create more meaningful opportunities for performers to share and showcase their passion for dance.

In addition to events, weddings, and bar performances, JiGGiG also serves as a dance agency for numerous touring productions that incorporate Irish dance into their shows.

If you are interested in being considered for future work with JiGGiG, Next Step is a meaningful opportunity to train directly with Brandon and Andy.

NYC / Ohio dancers - read below:

JiGGiG is using Next Step to identify new talent, with a focus on the areas we work in most. While we do pull from our nationwide network of pros, we’re especially looking for dancers based in the NYC area and Ohio.

At JiGGiG, we do a mix of:
– one-off shows
– weekly bar gigs
– weddings
– private + corporate events
– and some touring work

It’s flexible, so you can make it work with school, jobs, and everything else you’ve got going on.

So if you are interested, apply to Next Step and we can’t wait to see you there!

At its core, Next Step is about having fun, trying something new, and being surrounded by like-minded dancers in a supportive environment.

It’s a chance to step outside the competitive world and experience a different side of Irish dance. One that values team, creativity, and performance over results.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to perform, this is your chance to try it without jumping into a long tour or having professional expectations right away.

And if you don’t want to dance professionally at all, that’s completely fine. You’ll still walk away with new friends, new experiences, and a week you won’t forget.
