Full Job Description

Lead Ballet Educator — Akron

Students ages 6 months–8 years | Part-Time, Year-Round | W2

Are you a Magic Maker? Welcome! ✨

Tutu School is a collection of boutique ballet studios serving families throughout Northeast Ohio. Our classes blend classical ballet foundations with storytelling, imagination, music, and play — thoughtfully designed for our youngest dancers.

We’re looking for an experienced, dynamic, creative, and reliable Lead Ballet Educator to join our Akron teaching team.

This is a great opportunity for a dance educator who already has strong classroom presence and experience working with young children — and who is looking for more than simply teaching a weekly ballet class.

At Tutu School, we believe that young children deserve excellent teachers, too. If you love dance, love children, and know how to create a classroom where both can thrive, we want to meet you!

WORK AVAILABLE

W2 | Year-round | Part-Time | Lead Teacher

Training begins immediately, with teaching shifts beginning in September or as soon as training is completed.

Current Akron Priority Shifts

Sundays: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
Wednesdays: 4:00–7:00 PM
Additional teaching hours available based on your availability, distance to our other locations, and studio needs
Opportunities for substitute teaching and special events, including birthday parties, ballet playdates, fairs, and festivals

Reliable Coverage Opportunities: We are also building a small team of dependable teachers who are interested in additional paid opportunities for substitute/emergency coverage. Details will be discussed during the interview process.

***Please review the current priority shifts carefully before applying. Reliable availability during these windows is an important part of this position.

COMPENSATION

$28–$38/hour teaching rate, based on experience and qualifications

Additional paid opportunities are available for professional development, substitute teaching, special events, and expanded leadership responsibilities.

We are particularly interested in experienced educators who are looking to grow with our team and take on additional responsibility over time.

ABOUT THE ROLE

At Tutu School, you’ll guide our youngest dancers — and often their caregivers — through a thoughtfully crafted curriculum that balances ballet technique, creative movement, imagination, and age-appropriate development.

Our Teachers are responsible not only for teaching beautiful, engaging classes, but also for creating a warm, organized, and consistent experience for every child and family who walks through our doors.

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT

Our ideal Lead Ballet Educator:

Has a strong background in ballet and/or dance education
Has meaningful experience teaching or working with young children, ideally ages 1–8
Is energetic, playful, confident, and comfortable leading a room of very young children
Has excellent classroom management and redirection skills
Is reliable, professional, and communicative — teammates and families can count on you
Can balance structure and flexibility while following an established curriculum
Understands that teaching young children requires both technical knowledge and genuine emotional connection
Enjoys building caring relationships with students and families
Is comfortable with customer service, retail, and representing the Tutu School brand
Wants to be part of a professional teaching team and contribute beyond their individual class

Most importantly, you genuinely love working with little dancers. A strong dance background matters to us, but so does the ability to make a three-year-old feel confident, capable, and excited to come back next week.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

Strong foundation in fundamental ballet technique and terminology
Previous dance teaching experience
Experience teaching children ages 6 months–8 years
Familiarity with classroom management and child development
Experience lesson planning and/or following an established curriculum
Experience with creative movement, preschool education, musical theater, or similar disciplines is a plus

We're open to a variety of backgrounds, but for our current Akron opening, we are particularly seeking candidates who can bring both dance experience and strong skills working with young children.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Plan and teach weekly ballet/creative movement classes within Tutu School curriculum guidelines
Lead engaging classes with excellent classroom management
Create a joyful, organized, and professional classroom environment
Build caring relationships with students and families
Open and close the studio
Provide excellent customer service and assist with retail checkout
Participate in twice-yearly recitals, including learning and leading simple choreography
Participate in substitute teaching and occasional special events
Communicate professionally and consistently with studio leadership and teammates
Participate in ongoing teacher training and professional development

GROW WITH US

At Tutu School, we celebrate creativity, kindness, and professional growth. We care as much about mentoring our teachers as we do our students.

You’ll receive:

Structured initial teacher training
Ongoing curriculum resources and coaching
Paid professional development and training opportunities
A supportive, team-oriented teaching environment
Opportunities for additional teaching and leadership responsibilities
A clear opportunity to grow into expanded roles as your experience and contributions develop

We are building a teaching team for the long term — not simply filling a few classes.

SOUND LIKE YOU?

If you're ready to bring magic, music, movement, and excellent teaching into the lives of little dancers, we'd love to hear from you!

When applying, please tell us about your dance and teaching background, experience with young children, availability, and what draws you to teaching at Tutu School.

We're always excited to meet talented educators with unique backgrounds. If your experience doesn't look exactly like the list above but you believe you could be an exceptional Tutu School teacher, tell us why!

Job Type: Part-time

Pay: $28.00 - $38.00 per hour

Benefits:

Employee discount
Paid training
Professional development assistance
Referral program

Application Question(s):

What experience do you have working with children ages 1–8?
What dance or dance teaching experience do you have?
Which of our priority shifts can you reliably work: Wednesday 4-7 PM and/or Sunday 9 AM - Noon?
What is your favorite creative movement activity and/or classroom song?
