Part-Time Kids Hip-Hop Dance Instructor (Weekday Afternoons)
StepOn3 is looking for a high-energy hip-hop instructor to get toddlers and preschoolers grooving at after-school campuses across Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Fremont and San Jose. If you bring the beats, the moves, and a big personality kids can't help but follow, we'd love to meet you.
The Details
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 2:00–5:00 PM
Hours: 10–15 hours per week
Pay: $22 - $25/hour
Location: After-school campus locations across Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and San Jose
Type: Part-time, ongoing
The afternoon schedule is a great fit if your mornings and evenings are free — perfect for dancers, choreographers, students, and anyone looking for steady part-time work.
What You'll Do
- Lead high-energy, age-appropriate Ballet, Hip-hop classes for toddlers and preschoolers (roughly ages 2–6 years)
- Teach simple grooves, rhythm, and beginner choreography to fun, kid-friendly music
- Use freestyle, dance games, and call-and-response to keep little dancers engaged
- Build confidence and self-expression through movement
- Keep everything clean and age-appropriate — music and moves alike
- Handle basic class setup and help with sign-in/sign-out and transitions
Who We're Looking For
- You genuinely enjoy working with young children — you're patient, warm, and not afraid to be silly
- You're reliable and punctual (showing up on time, every time, matters a lot for after-school programs)
- You have a background in hip-hop or street dance — formal training is a plus, but strong rhythm, big energy, and a gift with kids matter most
- You're comfortable leading a group and keeping the energy high
- You're available Monday–Friday, 2:00–5:00 PM
Nice to Have
- Experience teaching Ballet, Hip-Hop, choreography, or kids' dance and movement
- Familiarity with styles like breaking, popping, locking, or commercial hip-hop
- A go-to library of clean, kid-appropriate music
- Willingness to complete a background check (standard for working with children)
