A Little About the Job
This isn't a typical quiet office job. Our front desk is the hub of the studio. You'll interact with students throughout the day, work closely with our instructors, help coordinate schedules, handle payments, and contribute to the overall experience our students have when they're at the studio.
If you enjoy working with people, staying busy, and being part of a positive team, you'll fit right in.
An interest in dance is a plus, but dance experience is not required. If you've ever wanted to learn ballroom dancing, you'll have the opportunity to do so here!
