Program Manager, Dance Education Laboratory

92NY is looking for a Program Manager to join its Harkness Dance Center’s Dance Education Laboratory (DEL), a team dedicated to delivering exceptional professional learning and instruction to a diverse community of educators and artists interested in developing as dance educators across New York City and beyond.

DEL inspires dance educators to engage in creative, transformational, and ongoing professional learning centered in the artistry of teaching and focused on humanistic principles of equity and justice. DEL provides an inclusive, nurturing, and dynamic laboratory where dancers and educators from diverse communities gather to experience embodied exploration and discovery, collaborative dance making, culturally responsive practices, and collective self-reflection.

DEL’s offerings include in-person and online courses, intensives, and events scheduled throughout the year. DEL also provides customized workshops, consultancies, and curriculum development for a range of cultural institutions, community organizations, schools, and professional dance companies.

The Program Manager would work with DEL’s collaborations with 92NY’s School of Dance, Harkness Dance Center’s Artists in Residence, Nursery School, Parenting Center, and School Engagement, streamlining the relationships and projects that intersect between the program departments.

We’re seeking candidates who are passionate about dance and dance education and want to help foster the next generation of leaders in our field.
