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

To thrive as a Dancer Choreographer, you need strong technical proficiency in various dance styles, creativity in movement composition, and often formal training or a degree in dance or choreography. Familiarity with music editing software, stage lighting systems, and video editing tools is typically required to design and present performances. Outstanding leadership, communication, and collaboration skills help direct dancers and work effectively with production teams. These abilities are crucial for creating impactful performances, ensuring artistic vision, and leading successful rehearsals and shows.

What are Dancer Choreographers?

Dancer Choreographers are professionals who design, create, and direct dance routines and performances. They work with dancers to teach them specific movements, sequences, and formations to convey a story, mood, or theme through dance. In addition to creating new choreography, they may also rehearse with performers, select music, and collaborate with other creative professionals such as costume designers and directors. Dancer Choreographers can work in a variety of settings, including theaters, dance companies, television, film, and music videos.

While dancers focus on performing and entertaining through dance, choreographers design and create dance routines. Both roles require dance skills, but choreographers also need creativity and teaching abilities to develop new works. Dancers often work as performers, whereas choreographers may work behind the scenes or lead dance projects.

How does a Dancer Choreographer typically collaborate with other creative professionals during a production?

A Dancer Choreographer often works closely with directors, costume designers, lighting technicians, and music composers to bring a cohesive artistic vision to life. Collaboration begins in the early stages, where the choreographer discusses the theme and goals of the production with the director and adapts movement to fit the narrative. Throughout rehearsals, they coordinate with dancers to refine routines, while ensuring technical elements like lighting and sound synchronize with the choreography. This teamwork is essential to create a seamless and impactful performance.

Job description

ABOUT US:

DivaDance is a sexy, sweaty, stress-free dance experience for adults! We are the #1 brand for pop-music inspired, choreography-based dance classes, programs, and parties - with franchises in over 20 cities. 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 part-time hours, extensive support and personal development, leadership opportunities, and the 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 studios in Mansfield/Grand Prairie 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.
