Boston Dance Theater (BDT) seeks versatile dance artists with strong technical, creative, and performance abilities for Core, Apprentice, and Trainee positions within BDT for the 2025/26 season.

BDT supports artists through a full time contract including regional, national, and international touring opportunities. Core member positions are salaried (informed by the MIT Living Wage Calculator for Boston Metropolitan Area) and come with health, vision, and dental benefit package options. All dancers rehearse Monday-Friday for 25+ hours per week and also hold administrative duties. Black, Asian, Pacific Islanders, Indigenous American, and Latinx artists are highly encouraged to register.

BDT will also consider artists to join the Trainee Program with a January, 2026 start date.

BDT’s 2025/26 repertory includes work by Karole Armitage, Rena Butler, Rosie Herrera, Alessandro Sousa Pereira, Jessie Jeanne Stinnett, Marco Goecke, Micaela Taylor, Yin Yue, Roya Carreras, and Itzik Galili. Dancers should familiarize themselves with the work of these choreographers in advance of the audition.

Interested dancers are encouraged to apply for BDT’s Summer Immersion Project (August 25-29) to gain more experience with the company’s artistic process prior to the audition. SIP Applications are being accepted until: July 31, 2025 at 11:59PM EST. https://www.bostondancetheater.com/sip 

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY: Boston Dance Theater is committed to fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion for all.
