We are growing! Fred Astaire Dance Studios® is excited to be adding to our team of professionals.

As a high-energy, customer-focused performing arts professional instructor, you will conduct private and group dance classes throughout the week. You and your Fred Astaire team will help students reach their personal dance goals through many different ways – from a single event to a lifelong journey of dance growth. Your unique honor is to enhance people’s lives every day, meeting and working closely with people from all walks of life.

Studio hours are regular during the week; however, you will also host many events that take place on some weekday evenings and some weekends to attend with your students.

Enriching lives – physically, mentally, emotionally & socially, through the positive, transforming power of dance.
