Why Work With Beat Box Dance Academy?
Flexible schedule.
Ongoing dance training and professional development.
Unlike companies that offer dozens of enrichment programs, hip-hop is all we do.
Our instructors become mentors, role models, and leaders who help children build confidence through movement and community. We invest in our team and provide the curriculum, support, and training needed for success.
If you're looking for more than just another dance job—and want to be part of a mission-driven organization—we'd love to hear from you.

This is perfect for someone who enjoys teaching, performing, mentoring youth, and bringing great energy into a classroom.
You'll start with 1-3 classes per week, with opportunities for additional classes and future growth based on performance.
