Scholarship Awarded

We offer a $100 scholarship to a summer intensive of your choice at the end of the internship in summer 2027. It is awarded to 1 Lab Tech and 1 Junior Lab Tech intern who exhibit everything we believe an intern should through character, consistency, and effort — more than the required hours, a good attitude, consistent class-taking, and helping improve studio culture.

Expectations

  • You are the face of Body Lab. You were hand-chosen for that reason. Stay professional in class, while interning, and outside the studio, with a positive helping-others attitude.
  • Attend 4+ hours of class each week. Your own training comes first. You should take more classes than you intern, and assist the classes you are signed up for.
  • Assist and teach only styles you are proficient in at the Advanced level. Take Advanced classes consistently before interning Beg/Intermediate. Final call is Mrs. Heather / Miss Kennedy.
  • Weekly classes, master classes, camps, shows, choreography, parties, and auditions — if you are proficient, you will be asked to help.
  • When you are in the room, go full out, demonstrate, stay engaged, give corrections only when it is your job, and skip the side conversations.
  • Subbing is paid; assisting is not. $20/hour teaching and $15/hour co-teaching when the teacher is not present, via Zelle, with a W-9 on file. If compensation is $600+ you will receive a 1099.
  • Front desk (usually summer) is $18/hour via Venmo/Zelle, no phones, and the same class-attendance requirement. You are the first face people see.

Hour Requirements

  • Summer 2026: 1 intensive & 2 total classes (not ones you would attend)
  • Fall 2026: 5 classes & 1 Body Lab event
  • Spring 2027: 5 classes & 1 Body Lab event

Turn all intern hours in to Mrs. Heather, Ms. Kennedy, and Ms. Sarah-Beth.
