NW DANCE’S SEABECK DANCE CAMP IS SEEKING APPLICATIONS FOR 2 POSITIONS
- ARTISTIC/CREATIVE DIRECTOR
- ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR
Seabeck Dance Camp is a well-loved fall dance camp in Washington State presented for the last 17 years by NW Dance (NDN), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to spread the joy of social dancing.
For 2023 the Camp will take place at SEABECK CONFERENCE CENTER in Seabeck Washington, where activities, accommodations, and meals are provided. The camp includes intermediate-level dance instruction over the 4 days, including evening dances with live music and/or DJ’s assisted by volunteers from the dance community who enjoy dancing to their favorites with their friends.
Our largest camp in 2019, just before COVID, brought 135 dancers, and our first camp post-COVID in 2022 topped at 88. We were happy so many folks came back! We enjoyed meeting many dancers from Alaska, Portland, and other areas of Washington, as well as the greater Seattle area.
As the camp continues to grow, we are seeking both an Artistic/Creative Director and an Administrative Director.
Please submit your application BEFORE April 23
