Dance Teacher

JOIN OUR DREAM TEAM!

At Elevate Dance Center, we are seeking passionate, energetic, caring teachers to join our dedicated team as we inspire, encourage, and share our love of dance with our dancers.

WHY ELEVATE?

We bring joy to dancers and their families through the artistry of dance. As dancers fill our studio, we hope to fill them with confidence, cultivate their creativity, teach them what true dedication looks like, and love on them through every step of their journey. We want our dancers to leap away (why walk?) with their heads held high knowing they learned so much more than how to dance in our studio.

OUR DANCERS DESCRIBE US AS...

Fun, joyful, creative, loving, and inspiring. Each program brings something unique to our studio and our dancers anxiously await the excitement they get to experience as they promote through each level. We have classes for every dancer at every stage. We do not celebrate only the best dancers, but the best that is in each dancer.

OUR FAMILIES DESCRIBE US AS...

A safe haven for their kids, where they can be trusted in the hands of our staff to grow as dancers and individuals. They love the unique care each dancer receives and the sense of family we will always strive to deliver. We build confidence, give individualized attention, and truly care for the individual progress of each and every dancer in our studio.

ROLE EXPECTATIONS

• Inspire dancers through quality dance education in weekly classes from September - June (potential for week long summer dance camps)
• Create quality, age and skill appropriate choreography with family friendly music and costume choices
