Our dance studio is a values-driven studio committed to conservatory-style dance training in a joyful, inclusive, and disciplined environment. Our focus is dancer growth at every age and ability — especially our youngest artists who are just beginning their dance journey. We are a training studio, not a performance team, and we take that mission seriously.
We are hiring part-time Dance Instructors for our upcoming 2026-2027 dance season, who are passionate about teaching young dancers and committed to showing up consistently for their students. We have openings across multiple genres and age groups, with our greatest needs in early childhood and beginner-level classes.
Reliability is a must. Our dancers thrive when they see the same instructor week after week — consistent, familiar faces make all the difference for young learners.
Important: Our studio's mission is to train dancers — many of whom are just beginning their dance journey. If you are looking for an elite team to set choreography pieces on, this position is not the right fit. We are looking for educators first.
