Job description

We are looking for teacher(s) for the upcoming 2025-2026 season and beyond. This could be 1 full-time instructor or a couple part time teachers. Classes at our studio are currently Monday through Thursday evenings 4:00 pm-9:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am-1:00 pm. This schedule is flexible, though, since we can adjust schedules to fit our teachers’ availability and preferences. Our current teachers (that are leaving to focus on education and family) have taught ballet technique, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, modern, pointe, and tumbling/acro classes. If you have experience in any or all of these styles or have a background in other additional styles that you would like to introduce to our community, we would love to hear from you!

We are also looking for someone interested in leading our competition team of about 35-40 students. In the past, students have attended 3-5 regional events, 3-5 conventions/competitions, and 1 national event.

We are looking to find someone who will fit with our family friendly values as well as someone who is looking to collaborate and offer their strengths and experience to our studio.

Starting pay is $15 per hour with increases based on experience, education, and certifications.
