Ballet Teacher

Victoria Ballet is seeking a dedicated and passionate Ballet Instructor to join our faculty.

Victoria Ballet is a pre-professional ballet academy committed to building strong classical ballet foundations while supporting dancers along a wide range of developmental pathways—from beginner and recreational students to those preparing for international ballet competitions and major performances
.

Our training philosophy emphasizes proper technique, musicality, artistry, and healthy dancer development
. International competitions are an important part of our program, but they are approached as a natural extension of solid foundational training, not as the sole focus.

• Teaching ballet classes for children and youth at various levels, from foundation to advanced, depending on experience
• Weekly regular classes and rehearsals for annual performances
• Opportunities to teach private lessons and support dancers preparing for international competitions, when appropriate

• Hourly rate: $40–$70 per hour, based on experience, training, and teaching background

• Formal classical ballet training required
• Teaching experience preferred (foundation-level teaching experience highly valued)
• Strong understanding of age-appropriate, injury-conscious ballet pedagogy
• Experience with international competition preparation is a plus, but not required
• Professional communication skills and reliable commitment throughout the school year

• Palo Alto / Los Altos, CA (Schedule and location to be discussed during the interview)

If you value building strong fundamentals, supporting long-term dancer growth, and contributing to a thoughtful, professional ballet program, we would love to hear from you.
