You’ll lead students through simple dance routines, movement games, music-based activities, and beginner-friendly exercises that help develop coordination, balance, rhythm, body awareness, and confidence.

You don't need to be a professional dancer or experienced teacher. If you enjoy dance, music, movement, and working with young children—and can make physical activity fun—you may be a great fit.

Curriculum guidance and instructional materials are provided, so you’ll have the support you need while still having room to bring your own energy, personality, and creativity to each class.

  • Introduce simple dance moves, rhythms, and age-appropriate movement activities
  • Use music, games, and creative activities to keep students engaged

  • Demonstrate movements clearly and model safe movement practices
  • Adapt activities to different abilities and comfort levels
  • Create a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment
  • Encourage participation, teamwork, and positive interaction
  • Provide positive feedback and celebrate student progress
  • Maintain a safe, organized, and welcoming classroom
  • Communicate professionally with program coordinators and school staff
  • Arrive prepared, dependable, energetic, and ready to move

  • Comfort leading groups of young learners

Dancers, dance instructors, fitness professionals, performers, early childhood educators, college students, recent graduates, aspiring educators, and movement enthusiasts are all encouraged to apply.
