A paid opportunity ($46.35/hour) to lead your own classes or creative sessions (4 consecutive classes)
A built-in community of fellow artists committed to mutual growth and support
Subsidized class rates at The Fifth throughout the cohort period ($10 per class)
Your Commitment
Attend at least 2 classes per month (Mondays 10:30am-12:00pm) during the 6-month program
Lead or facilitate 4 consecutive sessions for your cohort and the wider dance community
Who would be a good fit:
This program is for emerging artists. You might be fresh out of school, or a more experienced dancer exploring a new teaching or creative direction. If you are looking for space, structure, and connection to support your evolving practice, we encourage you to apply.
