Ignite your Passion, Live the Y Cause

Are you a new or experienced dance instructor who is passionate about leading quality dance classes? Are you excited about the opportunity to focus on the journey versus the destination and to recognize your students for their efforts, in a safe and inclusive environment?

As a dance instructor you will help to lead Y Arts programs that are designed for people of all ages and experience levels and serve as a platform to ignite a passion that can lead to a lifetime of arts appreciation and participation.

If hired for this position you will lead dance classes, create and rehearse choreography for end of year performances, and support annual productions. You will also assist the staff leadership team in reaching Annual Campaign goals through annual giving, major gifts, and/or endowment by telling the Y story and raising charitable dollars to fulfill the mission.

At the Y, we strive to draw the most talented leaders to make an impact each day in Pierce and Kitsap Counties and to champion diversity and inclusion in all aspects of work. We invite individuals who are motivated servant leaders to apply to be an active, inspiring part of the team.

As a part time employee, you will receive paid sick leave and an individual membership to the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties.
