Office Manager / Studio Director — SFK Academy of Dance (Playa Vista)
Join our studio family in a long-term leadership role where you'll own daily operations, build real relationships with families and staff, and grow with us. This is a full-time, in-person position ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, child-centered environment.
The Role
Most of the year, you'll work as our Office Manager/Studio Director — running day-to-day operations, supporting our team, managing enrollment, and keeping things organized and welcoming for families.
During Summer, Spring, and Winter Break (we follow the LAUSD calendar), you'll step into Camp Director — leading our camp programs with support from an experienced Camp Director who plans remotely and joins in person 1–2x/week.
Dance experience is a plus, not required.
