Are you passionate about inspiring the next generation of dancers? We’re looking for an energetic and experienced dance instructor to join our team and lead our Saturday morning recreational classes for the 2025/2026 season.

This is a foundational role—you’ll be introducing young dancers (ages 3 – 10) to the world of dance, building both their technique and their confidence in a supportive and joyful environment.

Why join us?
At Fortitude Dance Centre, we believe that a child’s first dance experience should be magical and meaningful. This is more than a part-time job—it’s a chance to shape young dancers’ early experiences and plant the seeds of a lifelong love of movement.
