International applicants encouraged
Dear Applicant:
Welcome! We are delighted that you are interested in joining Diversity Dance Company (DDC), an arts organization with a passion for making a positive difference in the world. Our guiding principles include celebrating diversity; gender equality; personal and artistic excellence; and eliminating prejudices, violence, and abuse. Each year, the members of the troupe bring these principles to life — through re-creating the show using each individual’s distinctive talents, through performing our work in front of thousands of people every month, and through the integrity of our relationships with each other and the world around us.
There are three essential requirements for joining:
- A high school diploma, GED, or acceptable certification from your state or country that you have the equivalent of a high school education.
- Willingness to explore and the courage and commitment to perform on stage before literally thousands of your peers and others.
- A passion and desire to contribute to positive social change, not just with words, but with a pure heart and sincere actions.
The purpose of the application process is for us to get to know you, and for you to get to know us. Both are important, because the key is whether you and DDC make a good match. We suggest you read the entire application before you begin. A list of practical hints is included, as well as the critical dates and deadlines in the application process. If you need help with the application for any reason, or have questions about the organization, don’t hesitate to call — help is available. Be sure to send the completed application in by the deadline!
Be yourself and feel free to be creative!
