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 star 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, has taught dance fitness to adult students, creates their own choreography, is super responsive via phone/text, and is genuinely hungry to work. Flakes or last-minute excuse-makers need not apply!

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, and your training time is paid.

HOURS, COMPENSATION, LOCATION

We are looking for you to teach 4-5 classes per month and/or private parties. Evening and weekend availability is required.

We want instructors with open availability who are hungry to work. Beyond your regularly scheduled classes, you may be called on last minute to sub, and weekend private party bookings come up often. The instructors who pick up the phone and say yes are the ones who climb our pay tiers fastest and get first crack at new opportunities.

You'll teach at Pearl Studios in Midtown Manhattan. Instructors are expected to arrive and clock in 20 minutes before the posted class start time to set up and greet clients.

Per class: Compensation is $40 $80 per class. Every instructor starts at $40 per class and moves up automatically as you teach no negotiating, no guessing:

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

• Experience teaching dance fitness to adults (group fitness, dance cardio, or adult dance classes teaching kids/teens or technique-only classes doesn't meet this bar on its own)
• Experience creating your own choreography
• Bonus points for former dance team / drill team / cheerleaders

HOW TO APPLY VIDEO LINK REQUIRED

Your application must include a working link to video of you teaching 2-3 8-counts of your own original choreography. Here's what we're looking for:

• You, on camera, teaching talking through the counts, cueing the moves. Not a performance reel.
• Original choreography your own work, not a trending TikTok routine or someone else's combo
• 2-3 8-counts is plenty. Phone video is fine. Polish is not the point your teaching is.
• Link must be publicly viewable (unlisted YouTube, Google Drive with sharing on, Instagram Reel, or Dropbox). Password-protected or private links will be counted as no link.

Applications without a working original choreography link will not be considered.

DivaDance is an equal opportunity employer. We're committed to an inclusive hiring process if you need a reasonable accommodation to apply or interview, just let us know.
