Cheerleading & Dance Enrichment Instructor – K–12 After-School Programs

Concorde Education

17h • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent instructors to lead in-person cheerleading and/or dance enrichment programs for K–12 students at partner schools. Programs introduce students to movement, rhythm, coordination, teamwork, self-confidence, and creative expression. Depending on the assignment, instruction may cover cheerleading, dance, or both, with activities adapted to students’ ages, abilities, and program objectives. Cheerleading activities emphasize safe, age-appropriate, non-stunting instruction unless stunting is specifically authorized and appropriately supervised.

Assignments typically involve 1–4 instructional hours per week, primarily after school, for approximately 8–10 weeks. Start dates are rolling throughout the school year. Instructors may review available opportunities and accept or decline them based on their interests, availability, and agreed compensation. Assignments generally start at $50+ per completed instructional hour, with rates varying by location, program requirements, and instructor experience.

Program-specific instructional guidance, curriculum materials, or resources may be available depending on the assignment. Instructors should be prepared to adapt activities to student skill levels, available space, and program objectives. Depending on the opportunity, an interview, onboarding documentation, background screening, and school or site clearance may be required before an assignment is confirmed. These are potential independent contractor assignments, not employee positions; applying or completing onboarding does not guarantee selection, placement, a minimum number of hours, future assignments, or continued engagement.
