Join Our Team
So you love dance. Or you love people who love dance. Either way, we've got spots opening up at Bright School, and we'd rather fill them with actual humans than robots. We're looking for folks who get what we do — teaching movement, building confidence, creating community. Work here and you'll spend your days around passionate dancers and equally passionate staff. It beats the usual office gig.
Our Culture
We're a crew that actually likes each other. No corporate nonsense, no forced team-building exercises that make everyone uncomfortable. Just real people doing real work with our students. We laugh a lot. We celebrate wins (big and small). And we genuinely believe that dance changes lives — which makes showing up easier.
Employee Benefits
Take any class on our schedule. Yes, any class. Staff discount doesn't exist here because you just get in free. Even the 6 AM cardio ballet if that's your thing.
We pay what you're actually worth. Not minimum wage. Not 'exposure.' Real money that covers rent and coffee and maybe even those pointe shoes you've been eyeing.
Full-time positions include medical, dental, and vision. Because healthy teachers make better teachers. Plus therapy coverage because this job's rewarding, not magical.
We get it — life happens. Need to adjust your hours? Have a conflict? Talk to us. We're not the company that pretends flexibility doesn't exist.
Budget for workshops, certifications, conferences. Want to study contemporary in NYC or learn about teaching kids with sensory issues? We're funding it.
15 days off to start. You'll use them. We won't guilt you. Panama's got beaches. Go enjoy them without checking Slack every five minutes.
Open Positions

Teaching 8-12 classes per week across our adult and teen levels. You'll choreograph, perform occasionally, and mentor students who actually care about improving. Background in contemporary is non-negotiable. Improv skills help.
