As a subdivision of Action Day Schools, WVDC blends high-quality dance training with a deep commitment to child development, confidence building, and community.

At West Valley Dance Company, dance is more than technique, it's about creativity, connection, and growth. Our studios provide a welcoming environment where dancers feel supported, families feel connected, and students develop valuable life skills such as commitment, respect, teamwork, and perseverance.

Schedule: Monday- Friday from 4:00- 8:00pm and Saturday from 9:00am- 1:00pm.

Our instructors work with dancers ranging from 18 months to 18 years old, teaching a variety of styles while fostering confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love of dance. WVDC instructors are more than teachers- they are mentors who inspire and guide the next generation of dancers.

Compensation: $25-40/hr. depending on individual experience, education and position requirements.

Requirements

Our ideal candidate will:

  • Have a strong dance background and a genuine passion for both dance and teaching
  • Have experience working with children and students ages 18 months-18 years (preferred)
  • Bring energy, creativity, and encouragement into every class
  • Be committed to helping dancers develop both technical skills and confidence for life
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with students, families, and team members
  • Be reliable, professional, and a collaborative team player
  • Have reliable transportation for travel between our Bay Area studio locations, and a desire to continue learning and growing

Benefits

Benefits for employees who work 30 hrs+ per week include:

  • Vacation, sick, and holiday pay- including a paid holiday closure at the end of December!
  • Medical, dental, and vision
  • FSA
  • Long Term Disability
  • Life Insurance
