What is creative movement?

Creative movement is a form of expressive physical activity that encourages participants, often children, to explore and communicate ideas, emotions, and stories through movement. Unlike traditional dance classes focused on technique, creative movement emphasizes improvisation, imagination, and personal interpretation. It is commonly used in educational settings to support physical development, creativity, and social skills. Activities may include guided exercises, free movement to music, and collaborative group work. Creative movement can benefit people of all ages by promoting body awareness, coordination, and self-expression.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a creative movement instructor?

To thrive as a Creative Movement Instructor, you need a solid understanding of movement principles, dance or physical education training, and experience working with diverse age groups. Familiarity with music editing software, classroom management systems, and relevant certifications such as CPR or dance instruction credentials is beneficial. Creativity, patience, and strong communication skills help instructors engage participants and foster a supportive learning environment. These skills ensure safe, effective, and inspiring sessions that promote physical development and self-expression.

How does a creative movement instructor typically collaborate with other educators or staff within a school or community program?

Creative Movement instructors often work closely with classroom teachers, counselors, and program coordinators to integrate movement activities that support broader learning objectives and student development. Collaboration may involve co-planning lessons, adapting activities for diverse abilities, and aligning movement sessions with curriculum themes or social-emotional learning goals. This teamwork ensures that Creative Movement is an engaging and inclusive experience that complements other educational or community efforts. Regular communication and feedback with colleagues are key to delivering effective, well-rounded programming.

What is the difference between Creative Movement vs Dance Instructor?

Required CredentialsTypically no formal certification, but training in dance or movement is commonOften requires dance certifications or teaching credentials
Work EnvironmentPreschools, early childhood programs, community centersDance studios, schools, community centers
Industry UsageFocuses on introducing movement concepts to childrenTeaches dance techniques and choreography to students

Creative Movement and Dance Instructor roles both involve teaching movement, but Creative Movement emphasizes early childhood development and basic movement skills, often without formal certifications. Dance Instructors typically require specific dance credentials and teach more advanced techniques. Both roles are common in educational and community settings, but they serve different age groups and skill levels.

Schedule: Typically 1-4 instructional service hours per week after school

Program Length: Commonly approximately 10 weeks per assignment

Compensation: Typical compensation of $50+ per completed instructional service hour, depending on assignment scope, experience, location, schedule, and agreed compensation

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide dance enrichment services for K-12 students.

This is a potential independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities.

Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, curriculum, available space, music resources, and program objectives.

Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, choreography ideas, instructional resources, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

ASSIGNMENT SCOPE

Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors may:

  • Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate dance instruction and movement sessions;
  • Teach foundational dance techniques, rhythm, coordination, choreography, and creative movement through structured, hands-on activities;
  • Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available space, and program objectives;
  • Guide students in developing dance routines, performance skills, teamwork, creativity, and self-confidence, where applicable;
  • Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;
  • Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate;
  • Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session; and
  • Follow applicable site safety, visitor, technology, emergency, and student-protection procedures.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM TOPICS

Assignments may include topics such as:

  • Hip-hop, jazz, contemporary, cultural, or creative dance styles;
  • Rhythm, musicality, timing, and movement coordination;
  • Fundamental dance technique and body awareness;
  • Choreography, sequencing, and group routines;
  • Creative movement, improvisation, and self-expression;
  • Performance skills, stage presence, and teamwork; and
  • Preparing routines for demonstrations, showcases, or school events, where applicable.

Specific dance styles, curriculum requirements, music selections, and performance expectations vary by assignment.

QUALIFICATIONS

Preferred qualifications include:

  • At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;
  • Experience with dance instruction, choreography, performance, or related movement disciplines;
  • Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school-age students;
  • Strong communication, organization, and classroom facilitation skills;
  • Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable; and
  • Familiarity with age-appropriate instructional practices, music-based activities, and classroom or studio management.

Preferred backgrounds may include educators, dance instructors, choreographers, performing artists, dance students, fitness instructors with dance experience, camp counselors, youth program leaders, and others with relevant instructional or performance experience.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

Assignments may utilize school-provided classrooms, multipurpose rooms, studios, sound systems, music resources, curriculum materials, lesson plans, choreography guides, and other instructional resources where available.

Contractors may use their own instructional methods and materials when appropriate, safe, age-appropriate, lawful, and consistent with the assignment scope and site requirements.

Purchases requiring reimbursement must be approved in writing by Concorde before they are incurred.

COMPENSATION

Compensation varies by assignment and agreed contractor terms. Many opportunities pay $50+ per completed instructional service hour with students.

Contractors may propose their desired compensation rate when applying. When proposing a rate, contractors should consider the overall assignment scope, including anticipated preparation, planning, commute, materials, schedule, and other business considerations.

Concorde may accept the proposed rate, decline the application, or provide a counteroffer based on the budget for the specific assignment.

Unless otherwise approved in writing, compensation is based on completed instructional service hours with students.

Payment for completed services is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which services were completed, unless otherwise stated in the accepted assignment terms or required by applicable law.

APPLICATION AND ONBOARDING

Applicants selected to move forward may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete any required onboarding steps.

Applying, interviewing, receiving an invitation to create a profile, creating a profile, or completing onboarding does not guarantee selection, placement, or future assignment opportunities.

Potential assignments are subject to assignment fit, agreed compensation, completion of required onboarding, applicable background-check review, Fair Chance or pre-adverse action procedures where required, site-specific clearance requirements, and final written confirmation from Concorde Education.

Some assignments may require background-check authorization, fingerprinting, agency clearance, site-specific documentation, identification badges, or other compliance steps before services may begin.

Applicants should not provide criminal-history information unless and until requested through the appropriate legally compliant process.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education considers contractor applicants without regard to any status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law and is committed to respectful, inclusive, and student-centered programming.
