Richmond Ballet's acclaimed community engagement program, Minds In Motion , is seeking a qualified dance professional for a seasonal full-time teaching artist position in the Richmond, VA area. Minds In Motion is an inclusive program that brings dance to all fourth-grade students in participating Richmond area elementary schools during the school day. The Minds In Motion methodology has been crafted over the last three decades and is based on our mission to awaken and uplift the spirit of students through the power of dance whereby the methodology of MIM emphasizes self-discipline, self-awareness, excellence, and teamwork and students are prepared for a culminating performance. We also provide after-school programs at the School of Richmond Ballet, additional classes to give advanced and accelerated learners opportunities to continue training in dance and other forms such as ballet, modern, theater dance, and choreography. Students attend weekly 45-minute classes beginning in September and culminating with a professionally produced performance that is shared by all students at the end of April. Teaching artists should have a strong background in dance, performance, and choreography, as well as a desire to connect and engage with elementary students in a positive and encouraging group atmosphere. They should be dependable, self-motivative, and positive in a team environment. Applicants should submit a cover letter that includes what inspires them about sharing dance with students and will also need to be available for training in the methodology and curriculum in the summer of 2026. During the school year, candidates will need to be willing to work school days in which the hours are varied, usually between 7:45am until 3:30pm during school days, and occasionally for after-school programs from 4:00pm-6:30pm.
