TEACHER ASSISTANT APPLICATION

The Teacher Assistant (TA) Program is celebrating its 10th season at Colorado Ballet Society. This program is designed for dancers who aspire to pursue a career in dance performance, dance education, or arts leadership.

TAs are mentored by our faculty in classroom management, lesson execution, and effective teaching practices. They gain an introduction to child development milestones, learn how to provide constructive feedback, and develop the skills needed to support both instructors and younger dancers in the classroom.

Throughout the season, TAs also gain valuable production and performance experience during two major studio productions. As emerging leaders, they are given opportunities to strengthen responsibility, professionalism, communication, and time management skills within a supportive and collaborative environment.
