Stages Academy, a performing arts preschool and after-school program, is looking for a Lead Dance teacher for our Preschool, PreK and Kindergarten students at our Buckingham location! We are a school based on the Reggio Emilia approach to education and provide a program that challenges a child's whole brain by putting academics and the arts on an even playing field. We are looking to hire a full-time teacher to lead dance classes to students age 2 to 6 years old.
Contrary to typical Preschool/Pre-K programs, our school offers a full academic curriculum as well as a full arts curriculum. Students attend classes on a rotational basis, giving them the opportunity to learn from multiple teachers, across multiple disciplines throughout the day.
Our Dance teachers provide instruction on basic dance technique in ballet, tap, jazz, and beginner acrobatic skills. They also work on gross motor development and develop performance pieces for our students' semi-annual recitals.
This position is a good fit for someone who has many years of formal dance training, has previously taught at a dance studio, has the ability to teach basic dance skills to young children, and is familiar with working with children in this age group. The right candidate for this position will have an energetic and lively personality, be able to conduct their classes independently (with no assistant in the room), and will make dance fun for our students!
*This is a full-time position from 9:30am-6:30pm, Monday through Friday.
Candidates should:
- have a degree in dance OR relevant experience,
- have experience teaching dance
- have experience supervising young children,
- have experience writing and implementing weekly lesson plans,
- be friendly, detail oriented, creative, and team players.
We pay a minimum of $14/hour with 4 opportunities throughout the first year to earn an additional $4.50 per hour! Raise your pay an additional $1 per hour as early as your first day! Pay is commensurate with level of education. Benefits package available to full-time employees.
