Job description

Hip Hop Choreographer – Kids Competition Teams

Star Dance Centre is launching its first dedicated competitive dance stream for the 2026-2027 season and is hiring a Hip Hop Choreographer to build and lead competition pieces for our Hip Hop Competitive Teams. This is a part-time, in-person role with a fixed Friday schedule.

Friday schedule: 5:00-6:00pm Hip Hop Comp Team Youth (Ages 10-12) and 6:00-7:00pm Hip Hop Comp Team Teen (Ages 13-15). The choreographer is responsible for creating original competition-ready routines for both age groups, refining pieces across the season, and bringing each team to performance-ready standard in time for competitions and showcases.

This is not a drop-in choreography role. The right person commits to the full season, builds a relationship with each team, and understands how to develop group pieces that grow with the dancers over time rather than delivering a finished product and stepping back.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience creating competition choreography for kids or teen Hip Hop teams
• Strong understanding of what adjudicators look for in a competitive setting
• Ability to work with two distinct age groups and calibrate the work accordingly
• Collaborative and communicative with studio directors and fellow coaches
• Committed to the full season schedule from September 2026 through June 2027
• Experience with competitive studios or dance companies is required
• Must be able to commute to North York reliably every Friday
