Dance Studio Director Job at Dariana Dance LLC in Boise

We are seeking a talented and experienced Ballet Dance Studio Director to lead and manage our dance studio, ideally someone with deep relationships in the Treasure Valley community. As the Ballet Dance Studio Director, you will be responsible for creating a nurturing and engaging environment that introduces young children to the art of ballet, develops their skills and coordination, fosters a love for dance, and promotes a sense of community among students, parents, and staff. Your expertise and passion for ballet will play a crucial role in shaping the foundation of our young dancers and inspiring their artistic growth.

Tutu School is a quaint boutique of a ballet school that provides a creative dance education experience for children from 18 months to 8 years-old. It is a place where students are urged to fully exercise their imaginations as well as their bodies, and where we not only focus on teaching children age-appropriate motor skills and the fundamental principles of ballet, but also expose them to the world of classical music and the enchanting stories of famous ballets.

At Tutu School we look for magic makers. On our team, we want hearts that never stopped twirling and minds that thrive on creativity. We require our teachers to have a strong background in dance, great communication skills, and a commitment to our carefully crafted curriculum. Most of all, we want instructors that are invested in nurturing the big dreams of little dancers.
