Can you teach the steps, hold the room, and get kids excited to come back?
Philly’s Got Dance is looking for dance instructors in Aubrey and Dallas, Texas, who bring strong teaching skills, creative choreography, and energy that connects with children and teens. You should be comfortable leading a class, encouraging beginners, and keeping students moving.
Founded in Philadelphia in 2014, PGD brings dance and performing arts into schools and community spaces. We’re building our Texas instructor team as local programming develops. Teaching assignments depend on confirmed partner sites and instructor availability; immediate placement and weekly hours are not guaranteed.
What you’ll do
• Lead warm-ups, teach technique, and build choreography students can follow.
• Mix instruction with movement activities that keep students involved.
• Adjust your approach for different ages, abilities, and experience levels.
• Build confidence, teamwork, and performance skills.
• Prepare students for showcases when included in the assignment.
• Track attendance and communicate with PGD about class progress and needs.
Who we’re looking for
• Experience teaching youth and the ability to lead a group independently.
• A background in one or more styles such as hip-hop, majorette, Afro dance, jazz, ballet, or creative movement. You don’t need to teach every style.
• Dependability, clear communication, and reliable transportation to assigned teaching sites.
• Ability to complete required background checks and clearances before teaching.
College students, graduates, and experienced instructors are welcome to apply.
The schedule
Paid, in-person teaching. School-year assignments are part-time. Full-time teaching opportunities are for summer programming. Compensation differs between school-year and summer roles and is confirmed before you accept an assignment. Days, times, locations, and weekly hours vary by assignment and are confirmed before you accept a placement. Tell us whether you can teach in Aubrey, Dallas, or both.
