As a Dance Teacher, you’ll typically work with three age groups across the day:
Ages 6–9, Ages 10–12, Ages 12-14. These groups rotate between singing, dancing, and drama classes in small ensemble sizes. As the dance teacher, you’ll work from your own room, receiving each group for their dedicated dance session.

Each class should blend skill-building with creativity—ranging from basic balance, strength, and flexibility to complex choreography, 2+ different dance styles, student led choreography, spatial awareness and preparation for musical theatre productions.
