After-School Dance Instructor

Part-Time Kids Hip-Hop Dance Instructor (Weekday Afternoons)

StepOn3 is looking for a high-energy hip-hop instructor to get toddlers and preschoolers grooving at after-school campuses across Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Fremont and San Jose. If you bring the beats, the moves, and a big personality kids can't help but follow, we'd love to meet you.

The Details

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 2:00–5:00 PM

Hours: 10–15 hours per week

Pay: $30 - 45/ hour

Location: After-school campus locations across Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and San Jose

Type: Part-time, ongoing

The afternoon schedule is a great fit if your mornings and evenings are free — perfect for dancers, choreographers, students, and anyone looking for steady part-time work.

What You'll Do

• Lead high-energy, age-appropriate Ballet, Hip-hop classes for toddlers and preschoolers (roughly ages 2–6 years)
• Teach simple grooves, rhythm, and beginner choreography to fun, kid-friendly music
• Use freestyle, dance games, and call-and-response to keep little dancers engaged
• Build confidence and self-expression through movement
• Keep everything clean and age-appropriate — music and moves alike
• Handle basic class setup and help with sign-in/sign-out and transitions

Who We're Looking For

• You genuinely enjoy working with young children — you're patient, warm, and not afraid to be silly
• You're reliable and punctual (showing up on time, every time, matters a lot for after-school programs)
• You have a background in hip-hop or street dance — formal training is a plus, but strong rhythm, big energy, and a gift with kids matter most
• You're comfortable leading a group and keeping the energy high
• You're available Monday–Friday, 2:00–5:00 PM

Nice to Have

• Experience teaching Ballet, Hip-Hop, choreography, or kids' dance and movement
• Familiarity with styles like breaking, popping, locking, or commercial hip-hop
• A go-to library of clean, kid-appropriate music
• Willingness to complete a background check (standard for working with children)
