Internship: Marketing

 

José Mateo Ballet Theatre (JMBT) seeks a Marketing Intern. In 1986, Jose Mateo founded José Mateo Ballet Theatre on the principle that access to dance could transform lives. Since then, JMBT has forged a new model for a ballet organization through innovative programming, artistic excellence, and extensive community outreach. JMBT believes that the educational, health, community building, and cultural value of ballet can be shared and enjoyed by everyone, benefiting constituents regardless of age, body type, or background—economic or cultural. This belief drives our work, which consists of three interconnected programmatic areas: Performance including our yearly production of The Nutcracker, Education and Training, and Dance for World Community.
