Description
Senior Dance Experience is seeking a dance and movement entertainer/instructor for senior care communities on Eastern Long Island.
Production Info
Flexible freelance schedule, approximately 1–5 assignments per week based on availability and demand.
Classes include seniors with a wide range of mobility and cognitive abilities, including wheelchair users and residents with dementia. You'll need to be comfortable improvising, adapting movements, and keeping everyone engaged and having fun, regardless of their abilities.
This is NOT your typical dance class. We're not looking for someone to simply teach choreography. We're looking for someone who can put on a show, crack jokes, connect with residents, and turn a movement class into the highlight of their day.
Pay Details
$50–$100/hour, depending on the assignment.
Requirements
- Experience teaching dance to children and/or seniors
- Big energy, a great sense of humor, and a naturally entertaining personality
- Confident leading a room and interacting with participants
- Comfortable adapting activities for different physical and cognitive abilities
- Must reside in or be willing to commute to East Long Island.
- Must obtain and maintain your own general and professional liability insurance before your first assignment
