seeking project manager
In May 2007 Dance Parade New York brought together over 4000 dancers and 13 floats down New York's Broadway and Fifth Avenue in the first-ever parade and festival to celebrate all forms of dance--everything from African to zydeco, belly to breakdance and salsa to swing. The first year success shows that Dance Parade can and should grow to be a positive force and energetic expression of our diverse dance communities. We are now building the team that will drive Dance Parade's tremendous growth into a City institution in our second year.
We seek a motivated individual with good project management skills who can spend 5 to 10 hours per week keeping working with our Managing Director to keep our team on task with a variety of projects. We meet every Wednesday in midtown Manhattan and much of the tasks can be done at home on a personal computer.
