Our Classroom Helpers and Assistants are part of our Student Leadership program - building up younger dancers in a positive, nurturing environment and creating opportunities for future growth and development. This is a great place to get plugged in and explore the other side of the art of dance. Dancers will learn important life skills in this program and have opportunities for additional training.
A student leader is any student who takes on the responsibility of spreading knowledge through inspiration and mentoring. A student leader strives to change the world by starting with their own community. :)
You will be notified by Monday, August 17 if you have been placed as a helper or assistant for this season!
