Dance Instructor (Part-Time W-2 Employee)
ABOUT US
DivaDance® is a sexy, sweaty, stress-free dance experience for adults! We're the #1 brand for pop music-inspired, choreography-based dance classes, programs, and parties, with more than 50 locations across the U.S. and Mexico.
Joining the DivaDance team is an opportunity to change lives, empower others, and do what you love while helping people build confidence and community through dance. We offer flexible part-time W-2 employment, comprehensive training, ongoing coaching, leadership opportunities, and the chance to grow with a fun, supportive, values-driven organization.
THE GIG
Are you the Queen (or King!) Bee every time you walk into a room? Do you love performing, creating choreography, and helping others feel confident, strong, and unstoppable?
As a DivaDance Instructor, you'll lead high-energy, all-levels dance classes using the DivaDance teaching method and signature class format. Every class is designed to be fun, welcoming, and empowering—whether someone is taking their very first dance class or has been dancing for years.
This is a part-time W-2 employee position. You'll be scheduled to teach regular weekly classes, receive ongoing coaching and support, and be part of a collaborative team committed to delivering an exceptional client experience.
We're looking for someone with a magnetic personality, strong teaching skills, and excellent communication. Our instructors are dependable, professional, and responsive. If you're frequently late, cancel at the last minute, or struggle with follow-through, this probably isn't the right role for you.
Before teaching your first class, you'll complete our Instructor Development Program, where you'll learn the DivaDance teaching method, class format, choreography standards, and client experience expectations. There is no cost to you for this professional development.
