This position is perfect for a spirited dance instructor who enjoys delivering high-energy combination-style dance classes to students ages 2 through 9 years old in a warm, patient, and developmentally appropriate fashion.

JOB TITLE: Dance Teacher: Early Childhood Combo Class Instructor (Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Acro)

JOB LOCATION: TranscenDance Studios, 120 Madison Street, Oak Park, IL 60302. Learn more about our studio at

EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Part-time (1 day per week) beginning immediately

COMPENSATION: Starting pay for teaching hours is negotiated based on experience. Attendance at meetings, dress rehearsals, recitals, or any other studio-scheduled time outside of teaching class is paid at a non-teaching rate of $15.40 an hour. Private lessons are paid at $42 an hour.

BENEFITS: Eligible employees may have access to offerings such as: 401K with employer matching, paid time off, select paid holidays, birthday floating holiday, uniform stipend, studio rental & usage perks, on-location substitute instructor available when necessary, pre-scheduled vacation during studio off-weeks (approximately 5-7 weeks per year: Spring Break, Summer-Fall Session Break, Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break).

REPORTING:

Manager: reports to the Program Operations Manager
Co-workers: works with other instructors. Coordination with administrative staff occurs daily.
Direct Reports: no employed direct reports but early childhood dance instructors work with youth volunteer class assistants. (Class Assistants are not employees).

EMPLOYMENT SUMMARY:

A typical day for this position begins in the morning with the first class of the day, pending the class schedule. If desired, private lesson teaching slots (ages 6+) may be made available before or after classes pending instructor and studio availability. Instructors may park in the private TranscenDance Studios lot directly behind the studio, and use their key fob to securely access the building through the rear lobby doors. A private office / staff lounge is available for instructors to store their personal items or relax between classes. Instructors wear studio dress code, which includes a black TranscenDance Studios staff shirt, black bottoms, dance shoes appropriate for the styles being taught, and hair pulled back away from the face. This position may also choose to wear a black leotard, tights, and skirt.

SHIFT SUMMARY:

1 day per week, beginning August 23, 2026.

The year is broken into two sessions Fall/Spring (running late August through early June) and Summer (typically running mid-June through mid-August). The Fall/Spring session features a recital in May or June. There are no performances scheduled for recreational classes over the Summer Session.

Private lessons are generally booked long-term and are dependent on studio and instructor availability as well as student demand. They are always booked in slots nearest to weekly group classes first to avoid holes in the instructor’s schedule.
