artÉmotion Ambassador Division Manual

MANUAL FOR ARTÉMOTION AMBASSADOR DIVISION

March 2024-December 2024

OUR MISSION

We develop Artists, not just Dancers.

artÉmotion shapes students into multidimensional dancers by asking them to stretch beyond their physical abilities and help them find their inner voices as artists. Our mission is facilitated by our curriculum. Students of artÉmotion will explore their artistry and technique in tandem. No movement without a purpose, without a unique story.

We recognize the work you will put forth for artÉmotion is invaluable and we thank you ahead of time for helping us spread the word about our mission and programs.  We really could not achieve our goals without you!  Yes, we will ask you to put in work for us, but we promise we will do everything we can to reward you for your dedication.  With every small achievement, you will receive some sort of compensation in the form of either discounted or free merchandise and opportunities to hone your craft.  

We will be implementing what we call “Principal Dancer” status.  It is our unique way for Ambassadors to qualify for our special “THANK YOU.”  Details will be outlined below.

Ballet is considered a dying artform, but it is so reassuring to know all of you.  Others dedicated to keeping ballet alive through hard work and dedication to our artform.  As retired professional dancers and educators to the next generation we greatly appreciate all your passion and hard work!  Together, we will make a difference in others’ lives through dance, a true gift!

We look forward to working with you all!
