We are hiring a Competition Stream Dance Instructor to lead Hip Hop Foundations and Jazz Technique as the core weekly training for all competitive team members.

This is a part‑time, in‑person role with a fixed Thursday schedule: 5:00-6:00pm Jazz Technique and 6:00-7:00pm Hip Hop Foundations, both for ages 10-15. These two classes are mandatory for every competitive team dancer and form the technical backbone of the entire program. The right person teaches foundations in a way that translates directly to performance quality, not just drill repetition.

What we are looking for:

• Minimum 2 years of experience coaching or teaching in a competitive dance environment
• Strong technical foundation in both Jazz and Hip Hop
• Experience preparing young dancers for competitions and adjudicated performances
• Ability to give corrections clearly and constructively in a group setting
• Collaborative, professional, and committed to the full season schedule
• Experience with competitive studios or dance companies is required
