Ideal for someone with both management experience and a strong background in dance instruction.

This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment, takes pride in getting things done, and enjoys working with both people and systems.

• Step in to teach classes when needed

Who We're Looking For

• Exceptional work ethic
• Prior dance teaching experience is an absolute requirement and non-negotiable. Candidates must be confident and capable of independently leading dance classes when needed
• Highly organized, proactive, and self-directed
• Tech-savvy, comfortable with Google Workspace, and quick to learn new systems
• Experience with studio management platforms such as Dance Studio Pro or Jackrabbit
• Professional, personable, and confident communicating with children, parents, and instructors
