Children's Ballet Instructor — Part-Time, $22–$30/hr
(Cherry Creek / Castle Rock / Highlands Ranch / Parker)
Hiring for multiple locations
Flag Ship Location: 3000 East 3rd Avenue, Denver, CO 80206
Job Description
Tutu School is a children's ballet studio serving families across the Denver metro area. We're hiring an instructor to lead ballet classes for young children, build relationships with students and families, and grow within a studio that actively invests in its teachers. You'll be in the studio leading class, working directly with kids ages roughly 6 months through 8 years, and shaping how they experience movement and confidence for the first time.
Pay is $22–$30 per hour, based on your teaching experience. Newer instructors start toward the lower end with structured coaching while they lead their own classes; experienced teachers who take on mentoring and studio leadership responsibilities move toward the top of the range.
Backgrounds in childcare, performance, coaching, or education are all welcome; prior dance experience (recreational or pro; ballet, jazz, hip hop, musical theater, or other styles) required. Our teaching team has come from a wide range of backgrounds: former professional dancers, preschool teachers, specialists with neurodivergent children, performers, and career-changers who simply wanted meaningful part-time work. What matters most is warmth with kids, reliability, and a willingness to grow as a teacher.
