Art Educator

Join The Movement Dance Experience

The Movement Dance Experience is expanding—and we're thrilled to launch our brand-new Art Program! We are seeking an exceptional Visual Arts Educator to join our all-star team and help us bring creativity, inspiration, and meaningful art experiences to our students.

This is more than a job. It's an opportunity to elevate young artists, build confidence, and guide students through artistic exploration in a structured, encouraging environment. Our educators are leaders, mentors, and role models—and they play a huge part in shaping the culture of our studio.

If you want to make an impact, take ownership of your craft, and be part of a supportive and forward-moving team, we'd love to meet you.

If you're looking for a short-term gig, something to "test out," or a filler job between opportunities—this will not be the right studio for you. We are searching for educators who value consistency, professionalism, and long-term growth within our community.

These are our core program hours:

• Monday–Thursday: 3:00 PM–8:00 PM
• Thursday: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
• Friday: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
• Saturday: 9:00 AM–2:00 PM

Art classes will be scheduled within this window. Teachers will not be scheduled for every hour listed, however:

• Applicants must have open, consistent availability during these hours.
• The specific class schedule will be assigned based on program needs and may change or grow seasonally.
• Applicants with recurring conflicts during these times (other jobs, weekly rehearsals or classes, etc.) are not a fit for this position.

What We're Looking For

Versatile & Confident Art Educators

• Comfortable teaching a variety of age groups—from Parent & Me through teens, possibly adults.
• Able to guide students through drawing, painting, mixed media, and age-appropriate projects.
• Committed to creating an engaging and well-structured classroom environment.
• Flexible and adaptable—classes are assigned based on skill, experience, and program needs.
• If you're only comfortable teaching one age group or one type of art lesson, this may not be the best fit.

Reliable, Professional, & Organized Leaders

• Punctual and fully prepared for every class.
• Strong classroom management skills—able to confidently lead groups of 1 to 15 students.
• Maintains professionalism, clear boundaries, and excellent communication.
• Follows studio procedures, dress code, safety standards, and curriculum structure.
• Takes responsibility for their classes, materials, and student progress. We value educators who bring solutions, positivity, and initiative.

• Excited to track progress, set goals, and help young artists gain confidence.
• Interested in helping with exhibitions, gallery days, student showcases, and events.
