SAB OVERVIEW
The School of American Ballet (SAB), founded by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein and based at Lincoln Center, is the preeminent ballet school in the country. Our mission is to train, develop, and nurture talented young dancers from diverse backgrounds for careers in classical ballet with New York City Ballet and companies around the world.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
At the School of American Ballet, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical components of a successful and thriving workplace. We strive to create an environment that values and respects the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of all our employees, students, parents, and stakeholders. SAB is an Equal Opportunity Employer and committed to an equitable and inclusive program and a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. Candidates from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
NATIONAL VISITING FELLOWS PROGRAM
The School of American Ballet (SAB) invites U.S.-based classical ballet instructors with a proven commitment to teaching students from diverse backgrounds to apply for the National Visiting Fellows Program.
Visiting Fellows are invited to attend two all-expenses-paid sessions during SAB’s Winter Term, where they observe a range of SAB classes, meet with faculty to discuss SAB’s curriculum and strategies for progression, teach SAB students and receive faculty feedback, and discuss relevant topics in dance education with administrative staff and faculty. In addition, the home school of each Visiting Fellow receives a monetary award of $5,000 to strengthen existing educational programs or to establish new opportunities for student support.
Applicants will be selected based on various qualifications, including, but not limited to, teaching quality, information about the community served, and the individual’s commitment to serving diverse student populations. The School of American Ballet encourages submissions from diverse applicants. Fellows will be selected and notified by early August.
Applications must be submitted by June 30, 2025.
Requirements
RÉSUMÉ OR CV
Include dance training, professional performing experience (if applicable), and teaching experience
DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT POSITION/TITLE AND ORGANIZATION
The application will ask you to:
STATEMENT OF INTENT
In a few sentences, explain your interest in participating in the Fellowship and your commitment to providing dancers from underrepresented backgrounds in ballet with opportunities to develop their potential towards professional careers.
LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM ORGANIZATION
Provide a letter from your organization’s artistic leadership endorsing your application. (Not applicable if the applicant is an Artistic/School Director.)
VIDEO TEACHING SAMPLE
Recorded in-person ballet classes are requested and should highlight applicant's ability to give clear directions and corrections to their students, rather than promote student performance. Video samples are meant to demonstrate how the applicant teaches their students and how they prepare and develop students for the rigors of classical ballet. Applicants will be evaluated on how they teach and communicate information to students.
We request all videos be uploaded to a streaming service such as YouTube or Vimeo prior to submitting the online application. You will be required to provide a link/url to your final video(s) in the application. Links that require the video to be downloaded are not accepted. Additionally, please do not provide links that require an invitation to a specific email address to view (such as in the “private” setting for YouTube uploads). Note that you do not need to compromise your privacy to submit a video. To keep your videos private on YouTube, choose the “unlisted” setting (instead of the default “public” setting) when you upload your video. An “unlisted” video will not be publicly viewable in your YouTube channel and cannot be found through a YouTube search. Vimeo users can update their privacy settings by selecting “People with the private link” under “Who can watch.” This will hide the video from your Vimeo channel and searches. For an added layer of privacy on Vimeo, you can add a password by selecting “people with the password,” which you must then provide on the application. For Video Guidelines, click here:Benefits
