Dance instructorS

At Contemporary Dance & Fitness Studio we are always open to new instructors, substitute teachers, and Company choreographers. 
Currently, we are most interested in Hip Hop teachers, Ballet teachers, and choreographers for our Junior Company. 

WE ARE SEEKING a skilled Hip Hop and/or Breaking dance instructor for our 2026-2027 season!

We value curriculum that prioritizes the history of hip hop culture, exposes students to a variety of street/club styles, and encourages students to explore/create through both foundational vocabulary and improvisation. The instructor should foster a supportive yet challenging environment, uphold the principles of hip hop, and have thorough experience in non-commercial hip hop. Our classes follow a general structure that includes a dynamic warm up (foundations, isolations, mobility, conditioning, etc), traveling phrases, center choreography, and improvisation (vocabulary variations, cyphers, etc) - as opposed to a primary focus on center choreography.

Term: August 2026 through June 2027. Candidates who can continue for following school years are preferred. Opportunity to participate in July camps is available.

Class times: Flexible prior to schedule being announced in Spring 2026, approximately 9 hours per week.

  • Select appropriate costumes for performance pieces, within the studio-determined budget
  • Attend all of their own May 2027 tech rehearsals, the dress rehearsal, and attend shows when their classes perform

Expectations:
  • Abiding by all studio deadlines
  • Maintain professionalism, adhere to and uphold studio policies at all times
  • Prompt response to all studio communication
  • 4 weeks notice required if terminating the contract
  • Lead a respectful, inclusive, and positive environment in alignment with CD&FS values
