Barron Sports•Ballwin, MO

21h•$50,000 - $60,000

About The Position

The Dance General Manager is the heart of our daily operations. You aren't just behind a desk; you're on the floor leading by example. This role is for someone who loves the energy of a busy studio and can seamlessly transition from teaching a high-energy class to mentoring a fellow teacher or helping a parent find the perfect class for their child. You'll ensure every student receives top-tier instruction while keeping the "backstage" side of the studio running smoothly and professionally.

Requirements

Lift up to 50 lbs with ease to support studio and recital needs
Rely on sharp vision and hearing to keep every child safe during active movement
Navigate uneven and soft surfaces with steady steps
Move dynamically—stretching, bending, squatting, and dance movements—with a full and strong range of motion

Responsibilities

Dual-Role Leadership : Balance approximately 20+ hours of active dance instruction with 12 hours of administrative and leadership duties.
Safety & Excellence: Ensure the safety and well-being of all dancers and families, maintaining a pristine and secure studio environment.

Staff Mentorship: Act as the lead "choreographer" for our team—training, mentoring, and providing performance feedback to Dance Teachers to sharpen their skills.
Build Family Connections: Be an enthusiastic, welcoming presence; engage with parents, answer program questions, and build lasting relationships with our community.
Tech Savvy: Utilize Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and our class management systems to keep the studio organized and on track.
