We’re building a home for all the weird & wonderful movement styles that deserve their time to shine, and our instructors are the core of our studio! If you’re a dance, fitness, or movement instructor with a knack for energizing a room full of people, we’d love to hear from you.

We have built out our class schedule for once we open and are not currently seeking group instructors to add to the regular schedule. However, we’re always keeping an eye out for talented instructors for subs and when our schedule expands. We’d love to hear from you if you teach:

• Dance fitness 

• Mat Pilates

• Yoga 

• Mobility or flexibility

• Anything else that you can convince us fits with our studio’s vibe

 the table stakes

• Compensation: based on experience, starting at $40 per 50 minute class. 

• No Non-Competes: You are free to work anywhere else you choose and pursue teaching, performing, or creative opportunities at other studios, gyms, and venues.

we’re looking for instructors who…

• Can clearly give cues and instructions (mic will be available), appears at ease in front of a group of up to 20 clients 

• Can break down dance movements into their simpler components

• Has training in or experiential knowledge of the dance styles they’re teaching. If you’re teaching a fitness discipline, we want to see a certification or proven training. 

• Able to hype up/motivate a room full of clients while also making them feel welcome/comfortable

• Follows the general structure of the class they’re teaching, but uses their creativity within that framework

• Reliable (shows up on-time to teach classes, keeps last-minute cancellations at a minimum)

• Replies promptly to messages on team communication platforms 

• Passionate about their interests/hobbies and makes clients feel comfortable being passionate about their own interests/hobbies

For dance fitness instructors, we’re specifically looking for folks who can count 32-count fitness music and cue on-time and in-phrase. If you’re looking for fitness instructor that aligns with how we teach, we highly recommend a beat-based method like SharQui - The Bellydance Workout. If you’re looking for a bridge training, we recommend the SharQui Beat & Block System coaching.
