About The Position

DivaDance is the #1 brand for pop-music inspired, choreography-based dance classes, programs, and parties — with franchises across the US and in Mexico. 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. 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.

Requirements

Experience teaching dance fitness to adults (group fitness, dance cardio, or adult dance classes).
Experience creating your own choreography.
Super responsive via phone/text.
Hungry to work.
Must complete online Instructor Development Program.
Must provide a working link to a video of you teaching 2-3 8-counts of your own original choreography, showing you on camera teaching and talking through the counts, cueing the moves. 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.
