Chicago Tap Theatre is looking for interns to join our team! Chicago
Tap Theatre's mission is to share the creativity, history, and joy of tap
dance. CTT is a not-for-profit professional tap dance company based
on the north side of Chicago with rehearsals and performances
throughout the city. Our season consists of a home season, tours, and
various local performances. Founded in 2002, CTT is a pillar of the
Chicago dance community! CTT interns dive into the world of nonprofits, develop mentor-type relationships, connect with the
performance community in Chicago, and, of course, receive tap
classes from CTT members!
