Movement Research Offers the following Internship opportunities for dancers of all levels ages 18 and up. Applications are reviewed periodically, either with each new season or as a position opens. You are welcome to send at any time a resume and cover letter to Sarah Holcman, Operations and Marketing Associate, at info@movementresearch.org.  Please note that you are interested in being considered in the future and for which potential positions you are applying. The resume should focus on work experience and include all relevant computer skills, technological experience, finance/cash register experience, and whatever else you feel may be applicable to your areas of interest.

We are currently interviewing for a small number of fall internship positions. We are also accepting applications for winter college internships.
