We offer serious classical and contemporary training from youth to adult in a positive and progressive program of study. Performance opportunities are provided through annual spring concert performances, informal showings and student participation in the dance center's repertory youth performance companies. Classes are offered year-round in ballet, modern, tap, jazz, musical stage, hip-hop, and Irish step dance.

Hiring Process

Typically, during the months of March-April, we hold our application and interviewing processing for potential teaching candidates for both the Summer Dance Program and the Fall-Spring academic year. Please call 540-810-3631 to schedule a phone and in-person interview conducted with proper physical distancing and in masks.

We ask that all applicants email dancencompany@gmail.com with your resume, including three references with their contact information.

Your references should first include someone who knows you well and is capable of speaking to your prowess as a dancer and dance teacher. We suggest you consider a person who has observed you working with children and teens in any instructional capacity. A good character reference is also helpful.

Application Process

Our application process consists of the following:

1.       Receipt of resume

2.       Scheduling of phone interview

3.       Scheduling of in-person interview including review of contract

4.       Scheduling a sample teaching session with an existing class.

(Sample teaching, the in-person interview/review of contract, and remittance of a list of references, with phone numbers and email addresses can occur at the same time.)

Thank You!

We are very excited to hear from you, and we are looking forward to meeting new team members with fresh ideas, methods and outlooks. We hope to soon welcome new members to our Dance & Company Family and Faculty!

Thank you again for your interest. Feel free to contact us with any further questions.
