Joffrey Community Engagement Teaching Artist

The Joffrey Community Engagement Teaching Artist (TA) teaches exceptional arts education classes for Chicago Public Schools through in-school programming. We are looking for TAs who are adaptable, demonstrate knowledge and preparedness, care about all students, and create a joyful atmosphere.

TAs provide instruction in multiple styles of dance including African, ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz, and Latin. TAs offer highly structured dance experiences, encouraging students to develop technique, creativity, and life skills. Programs often last the full school year, though shorter residencies occur. Programs offered throughout the city require no previous dance training from students and are offered for grades PreK-12.

The Joffrey Ballet is an equal opportunity employer, providing opportunities to candidates and employees without regard to race, religion, creed, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, disability unrelated to an individual's ability to perform adequately, national origin citizenship, ancestry, or any other characteristic protected by law.
