You don't need to be a professional dancer or experienced classroom teacher. If you enjoy dance, music, movement, and working with children, you may be a great fit.

• Maintain a safe, organized, and welcoming learning environment
• Communicate professionally with program coordinators and school staff
• Arrive prepared, dependable, energetic, and ready to move
