Alexandra Beller/Dances is seeking 2 work/study interns: 

 

 1. An intern for our company, Alexandra Beller/ Dances

 

 2. An intern for our online artistic community, PRAXISPACE.com.  

 

Both internships include responsibilities of managing social media, monitoring and participating in website activity, and light office work.  The internship positions require someone who is detail-oriented, self-motivated, thoughtful, socially conscious, and propelled. These are entirely remote computer-based positions that can be done on your own time.  We are looking to have both positions filled by mid/late June with a 6-month commitment, but if the fit feels right on both ends, the position could extend to a year or more, and has the potential to grow into a staff job. This is a great position for a young dancer/artist/performer/student to learn more about the inner operations of a professional dance company.  There is also plenty of opportunity to bring your artistly into this position.
