BALLET TECH, the NYC Public School for Dance, seeks a dedicated, energetic, and organized individual as a full-time Program Assistant. The Program Assistant supervises and mentors students ages 8-18, and provides administrative support to the Artistic Director and others. Experience with children and a sense of humor are essential. A background in dance and the arts, while a plus, is not required for this position. Bi-lingual is also a plus, but not required.

 

Ballet Tech (BT) is dedicated to developing new generations of dancers by introducing thousands of New York City public school children to the beauty and rigor of classical dance and providing those most promising with the professional training necessary to pursue their creative potential, tuition-free. In 1978, choreographer Eliot Feld began Ballet Tech to provide tuition-free dance training to develop new generations of dancers drawn from the NYC public school system. Ballet Tech subsequently entered into a public/private partnership with the NYC Department of Education (DOE) in 1996, making it possible for students to study dance as part of the regular school day. Ballet Tech serves approximately 140 students annually in grades 4-12.
