Summer Dance Director

ABOUT DANBEE ARTS & DANCE CAMP

Danbee Arts and Dance Camp (DADC) is located in the Berkshires of Massachusetts near Pittsfield, about 3 hours from NYC and 2 hours from Boston. Our camp is the best of both worlds for girls who want a traditional summer camp experience while also pursuing their passion for fine arts or dance. They come to camp for 1 or 2-week sessions. We combine top-tier arts and dance instruction with a core philosophy of: A place where girls can be their best selves. What results is boundless space for creative exploration and meaningful skill development.

Our dance program is for girls who want to expand their skills in a safe and supportive environment, surrounded by other girls who love dance, too! We aim to help dancers grow their skills, no matter how long they’ve been dancing. We offer instruction for beginners through advanced levels in all of our dance classes. Our core styles include ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical and hip hop.

DANCE DIRECTOR ROLE

The Dance Director plays a pivotal role in our camp leadership team. 2024 is our opening summer, which makes this an incredible opportunity to be part of building our new program from the ground up and to really make your mark!

The Dance Director fully supervises our dance program. This includes overseeing 5-6 dance instructors, the summer’s curriculum, studio upkeep, and our end-of-session showcases. Our program provides a non-competitive, supportive environment, so the Dance Director promotes a learning environment that is not about being the best or most experienced, but is instead about being fun, encouraging, safe and progressive. The ideal candidate is an experienced dance educator, with strong organization and communication skills, including the ability to direct and lead others.

REQUIREMENTS

• Professional experience as a dance educator in a variety of genres.
• Bachelor’s in a relevant field or equivalent years of experience.
• Prior supervisory experience preferred.

DATES & COMPENSATION

Summer dates are June 23-August 4, 2024. This includes pre-camp orientation and training, and 4 weeks of camp. The ideal candidate is also available to commit a few hours a month prior leading up to the summer to help with camper recruitment.

Salary rate for the summer is $6,000-8,000, plus paid travel to/from camp. Nice housing and meals are also provided.

APPLY NOW – We are seeking to fill this position no later than January 1, 2024. Applications will be accepted until December 15, 2023 and will be processed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
