What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dance Instructor and Choreographer position at Coastal Dance Company?
At Coastal Dance Company, we’re not your typical dance studio. We’re an on-site dance company! Our classes take place at schools, recreation centers, and after-school programs throughout Southwest Florida.
We’re a small but mighty team that truly values creativity, community, and connection. We believe dance should be fun, expressive, and inspiring for our students and our instructors!
Our instructors enjoy:
- Company-provided class materials (and any extra requests are always approved!)
- Fun get-togethers like goat yoga, Broadway Palm dinner shows, and team hangouts
- A supportive, family-like environment
- Incentives and opportunities to earn bonuses
- Creative freedom! Every class is unique. You'll get to create your own lesson plans and choreography

What You’ll Do
- Teach engaging and age-appropriate dance classes at various schools and recreation centers

- Foster a positive, encouraging learning environment for students
- Capture photos during each class
- Communicate with our team and location staff to stay organized and informed
- Keep students safe and supported during every class
- Attend any recital, showcase, or performance scheduled
What We’re Looking For
- Experience teaching or working with young children
- Proficiency in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Hip Hop
- A positive attitude and the ability to connect with students
- Reliable transportation to travel between class locations
- A flexible and team-oriented mindset
- CPR certification is a plus, but not required
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Supportive leadership that values your ideas and individuality
- Fun, low-pressure environment where creativity is celebrated
- Opportunities to grow and learn
- Competitive pay and multiple bonuses throughout the school year
- A company culture built around teamwork, kindness, and making dance magical for every student
