Join Our Team!
Small Fry Dance Club teaches preschool level dance classes in our studio in San Mateo, and on site at preschools all over the Bay Area. We have won numerous awards since our founding in 2007 including “Best Dance School” by Bay Area Parent, Redtri.com, Chatterblock.com, Parent’s Press, and Mommy Nearest.
As you might expect most of our staff have dance degrees, but that is not the only thing we look for in an instructor. A strong dance background coupled with a degree in Child Development, Psychology, Early Childhood Education, or a related field also make strong Small Fry teachers.
We have developed an age appropriate curriculum but still allow our teachers the creative freedom to apply the curriculum how they see fit.
If you want to work with a fun, focused, and family run business, this is the place for you!
Current Openings as of 3/22/2016
Small Fry Dance Club is looking for dance teachers! Small Fry teaches on-site and studio dance classes to preschool and school age students. Dancers range in age from 1 1/2 – 5. Dance, teaching, and early childhood education experience are required. Combination of all 3 works very well. Back ground should include training in multiple disciplines. Classes include curriculum in basic tap, jazz, ballet, creative movement, and yoga. Instructors must have reliable transportation. CPR/first aid training is a plus. Early childhood education units are required at some participating preschools.
