Dance Studio Content CreatorJob Overview
Stage Door School of Dance is looking for a creative, team-oriented, and dance-savvy Content Creator to join our marketing team!
This is a hybrid, part-time paid position for someone who understands both the world of dance and the world of social media. This role is focused on collecting, curating, creating, editing, and managing content that showcases our dancers, teachers, programs, events, and studio community.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who gets dance AND gets social media.
You don't necessarily need to be the person behind the camera all day. Instead, you should be the person who can look through a folder of hundreds of photos and videos and immediately recognize:
"That's the one."
You understand what makes a dancer look their best, what accomplishments families want to see celebrated, what moments tell a story, and what will catch someone's attention while scrolling.
You are creative enough to take a simple piece of content and turn it into something engaging. You're organized enough to keep a steady flow of content moving. And you're plugged into social media enough to know what is trending and how to make it work for a dance studio.
