- Maintain a clean, professional, and encouraging studio environment.
Qualifications:
- Minimum 2 years of ballet and pointe teaching experience required.
- Recognized ballet pedagogy certification (e.g., ABT NTC, RAD, Cecchetti) or professional company experience is highly preferred.
- Deep understanding of pointe readiness, foot/ankle anatomy, and injury prevention.
- Excellent communication skills and a passion for mentoring small cohorts.
