Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide dance enrichment services for K–12 students.

This is a potential independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities.

Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, curriculum, available space, music resources, and program objectives.

Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, choreography ideas, instructional resources, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate dance instruction and movement sessions;
• Teach foundational dance techniques, rhythm, coordination, choreography, and creative movement through structured, hands-on activities;
• Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available space, and program objectives;
• Guide students in developing dance routines, performance skills, teamwork, creativity, and self-confidence, where applicable;
• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;
• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate;
• Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session; and
• Follow applicable site safety, visitor, technology, emergency, and student-protection procedures.

• Hip-hop, jazz, contemporary, cultural, or creative dance styles;
• Rhythm, musicality, timing, and movement coordination;
• Fundamental dance technique and body awareness;
• Choreography, sequencing, and group routines;
• Creative movement, improvisation, and self-expression;
• Performance skills, stage presence, and teamwork; and
• Preparing routines for demonstrations, showcases, or school events, where applicable.

Specific dance styles, curriculum requirements, music selections, and performance expectations vary by assignment.

Preferred qualifications include:

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;
• Experience with dance instruction, choreography, performance, or related movement disciplines;
• Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school-age students;
• Strong communication, organization, and classroom facilitation skills;
• Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable; and
• Familiarity with age-appropriate instructional practices, music-based activities, and classroom or studio management.

Preferred backgrounds may include educators, dance instructors, choreographers, performing artists, dance students, fitness instructors with dance experience, camp counselors, youth program leaders, and others with relevant instructional or performance experience.

Assignments may utilize school-provided classrooms, multipurpose rooms, studios, sound systems, music resources, curriculum materials, lesson plans, choreography guides, and other instructional resources where available.

Contractors may use their own instructional methods and materials when appropriate, safe, age-appropriate, lawful, and consistent with the assignment scope and site requirements.
