Overview
We are seeking a passionate and skilled Ballet Teacher to join our small, family-feel dance school in Sutton Coldfield to cover maternity leave with the potential for a longer term contract. Work will be on Saturdays in term time and the maternity cover will be for the Summer Term 2025 with the view to extend the contract into the following academic term for the right candidate.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in ballet technique (knowledge of the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus would be a bonus, but not essential, as training will be provided) and a genuine enthusiasm for teaching and inspiring students of all ages. This role involves creating a positive and engaging learning environment, fostering creativity, and helping students develop their dance skills, specifically in classical ballet.
Duties
1. Plan and deliver engaging dance lessons tailored to the needs and abilities of students.
2. Teach classical ballet following the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, ensuring proper techniques are demonstrated and practiced.
3. Provide constructive feedback to students to enhance their performance and confidence.
4. Organise and prepare students for examinations and occasional performances as required.
5. Maintain a safe and welcoming studio environment conducive to learning.
Skills
1. Proficiency in classical ballet. Ideal to have prior knowledge of the RAD syllabus but will accept applications from teachers from other exam boards, or trainee ballet teachers.
2. Strong communication skills to effectively convey instructions and feedback.
3. Ability to motivate and inspire students of varying skill levels.
4. Excellent organisational skills to manage lesson plans and class schedules.
5. Patience and adaptability when working with diverse groups of learners.
6. Previous teaching experience is essential; enthusiasm for dance is key.
Join us in sharing the joy of dance while making a positive impact on our students' lives!
