EDE Teacher's Assistant Program
The Teacher's Assistant Program provides experienced dancers with an opportunity to develop leadership, mentorship, and teaching skills while supporting instructors in creating a positive and engaging learning environment for younger dancers. TA's serve as role models and assist instructors with class management and student encouragement.
TA's are volunteers and are not employees or substitute instructors.
A Message from the Board of Directors
Thank you for your willingness to serve as a Teacher's Assistant at Ellensburg Dance Ensemble. By volunteering your time, enthusiasm, and experience, you are making a meaningful difference in the lives of our youngest dancers while developing valuable leadership skills of your own.
Our Teacher's Assistants play an important role in creating a welcoming, encouraging, and positive classroom environment. Younger dancers benefit from having older students to look up to as mentors and role models, while volunteers gain confidence, responsibility, communication skills, and experience working with children—qualities that will serve them well both inside and outside the studio.
As a nonprofit organization, EDE is built on the generosity of volunteers who believe in our mission of making high-quality dance education and performance accessible to our community. Your commitment strengthens our programs, supports our instructors, and helps ensure that every dancer receives the encouragement and attention they need to thrive.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, our faculty, and the families we serve, thank you for choosing to invest your time and talents in our studio. We are grateful for your dedication and are excited to have you as an important part of the EDE community.
