Overview

We’re Hiring: Mini Dance Instructor (Ages 18 Months–6 Years)
Help Us Shape Tiny Dancers with Big Purpose at Melodic Movements Performing Arts Program Inc.

At Melodic Movements, we do more than teach dance — we raise young hearts, minds, and spirits. Our studio is a family, rooted in purpose, passion, and excellence, and we’re growing!

We’re currently seeking a Mini Instructor who doesn’t just teach little ones how to dance — but helps them discover confidence, creativity, and a deeper understanding of who they are. If you’re the kind of teacher who lights up when a tiny dancer finds their rhythm — and you’re ready to pour into their journey both on and off the stage — this could be your home.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading joyful, technique-based classes for children aged 18 months to 6 years.
Creating engaging, purposeful lesson plans that introduce movement, musicality, and meaning.
Choreographing delightful performances for our recitals and community events that let even the tiniest dancer shine.
Supporting students beyond the dance floor — teaching teamwork, resilience, and self-expression.
Occasionally assisting with or subbing older classes when needed (flexibility is a plus!).
About Our Studio Culture
At Melodic Movements, every dancer is seen, every teacher is valued, and every class has a purpose. We’re a tight-knit family that celebrates growth, connection, and faith in our students’ ability to find and walk in their purpose. Our standard is excellence — in technique, in service, and in the impact we make on every child that enters our doors.

We work hard. We uplift each other. We believe in the power of performing arts to transform lives. If that resonates with you, you’ll fit right in.

You’re a Fit If You…

Have a natural gift with young children, especially ages 18 months to 6 years.
Bring patience, joy, and imagination into every class.
Are passionate about child development, positive discipline, and building confidence through dance.
Communicate clearly and warmly with both students and parents.
Can teach early childhood movement, ballet basics, and tap or combo classes.
Are open to teaching older students when needed.
Thrive in a collaborative, purpose-driven team environment.
Have at least 2 years of dance teaching experience, especially with minis.
Are available weekday evenings and Saturdays.
Bonus: You’re flexible and available to work at both our Hockessin and Dover studio locations.
