As one of the Bay Area's fastest-growing dance organizations, we are investing in the future of our programs by developing exceptional leaders from within.

Compensation: $30.00–$45.00/hour, depending on experience and qualifications. Plus opportunities for additional compensation through choreography, private lessons, special events, and leadership responsibilities!

Why West Valley Dance Company?

At WVDC, we believe great leaders are developed, not simply hired.

You'll receive mentorship from experienced leaders while helping shape one of Northern California's premier dance programs. As our organization continues to grow, so will your opportunities for increased responsibility, leadership, and career advancement. If you're looking for more than a teaching job and want to build a meaningful career in dance leadership, we'd love to meet you!
