What is choreography?

Choreography is the art and practice of designing sequences of movements in which motion, form, or both are specified. It is most commonly associated with dance, but can also refer to the arrangement of movements in theater, ice skating, synchronized swimming, and other performing arts. Choreographers create and organize dance routines, often working closely with dancers and directors to bring artistic visions to life. Their work involves creativity, technical knowledge, and an understanding of music and physical movement.

What are some common challenges choreographers face when collaborating with dancers and production teams?

Choreographers often encounter challenges such as clearly communicating their creative vision to dancers and aligning movement with music, costumes, and stage design. Additionally, they may need to adapt choreography to accommodate varying skill levels and physical abilities within the cast. Effective collaboration requires flexibility, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to incorporate feedback from directors, producers, and performers, all while meeting tight rehearsal and production schedules.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a choreographer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Choreographer, you need a strong background in dance technique, movement composition, and often a degree in dance or performing arts. Familiarity with music editing software, stage production tools, and sometimes certification from recognized dance organizations is valuable. Creativity, leadership, and excellent communication are vital soft skills for directing performers and collaborating with production teams. These abilities ensure the effective creation and execution of compelling dance performances that resonate with audiences and meet artistic goals.

Understanding these differences helps clarify career paths and job expectations in the dance industry.

Job description

ABOUT US:

DivaDance is the #1 brand for pop-music inspired, choreography-based dance classes, programs, and parties - with franchises across the US and in Mexico. Joining our staff is an opportunity to change lives, empower others, and do what you love as we inspire confidence and build community in our inclusive, all-levels classes. We offer flexible working hours, professional development opportunities, leadership growth paths (including pathways to your own franchise ownership), and the exciting (and fun!) chance to be part of a growing, values-driven franchise organization.

THE GIG:

You're the Queen (or King!) Bee of every DivaDance class, teaching clients original choreography to songs ranging from Bey to Biebs. Our classes are for all levels and follow a consistent DivaDance format. Our ideal candidate has a big personality, experience creating choreography and teaching adults, and is super responsive via phone/text. Flakes or last-minute excuse-makers need not apply! This is a great role for someone who wants to earn extra Venmo or manicure money while doing what they LOVE. You will be required to complete our online Instructor Development Program before teaching your first class. There is no cost to you for this professional development.

HOURS, COMPENSATION, LOCATION:

We are looking for you to teach 1-2 classes per week - mostly in the evenings and possibly on weekends. DivaDance brings our classes into existing facilities - we do not have our own physical location. You can expect to teach at our studio in Lewisville and/or Denton and should have reliable transportation to get there for classes!

Compensation starts at $30 per class.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:

You must have experience teaching and choreographing for adults. Bonus points for former dance team/drill team/cheerleaders. Our application process will require that you submit a video of your original choreography.

Applications without choreography links will not be considered.
