Job Description
Summary
The Performing Arts Department at Albuquerque Academy seeks a passionate, energetic, versatile, and academically grounded Dance teacher to join our faculty, teaching students of all abilities in grades 6-12. We are looking for someone who is patient, engaging, and inspires a love of Dance in all students, works well with colleagues, and enjoys thinking about the art of teaching Dance. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between rigorous classical technique and the rich diversity of global movement traditions. We are looking for an educator who doesn't just teach steps but fosters a deep cultural and kinesthetic understanding of dance as a global art form.
Diversity is a core value at Albuquerque Academy, and we seek candidates who demonstrate an abiding commitment to equity and belonging.
All teachers at Albuquerque Academy approach their work in accordance with the values in our mission and in a spirit of kindness, professionalism, generosity, and civility to all members of the community. An education at the Academy focuses on the whole child, and teachers and administrators are expected to teach well and also to function as adult mentors for students, in and out of the classroom. Our community norms, listed below, underlie our school culture, and all community members are expected to commit themselves fully to them.
Strong candidates are attracted to our mission and see themselves as engaged community members. They will need to create and implement relevant curriculum and varied assessments for their four classes. Outside the classroom, our teachers work with students in extracurricular activities, including clubs, sports teams, and other programs.
