Cultivating Leadership in Dance Internship Program
Pentacle recently completed its Winter 2010 cycle, pairing eleven dance companies and independent artists with emerging arts administrators. The eight-week program brought the interns together for weekly workshops with guest speakers from Career Transition for Dancers, Keigwin + Company, ZviDance, Elisa Monte Dance, Ballet Hispanico, and RIOULT. Pentacle was also fortunate to award several scholarships for the interns to attend Dance/NYC's Mid-Season Symposium Feb 5-6. Thank you to our speakers, Dance/NYC and its Youth Advisory Committee!

"What's unique about the Cultivating Leadership in Dance program is its educational aspect; all interns meet for weekly seminars on different arts administration topics, such as marketing and individual giving. It's also a great chance to touch base with the other participants and find out what they're getting out of their internship experience." |
