Trinity School, a co-educational, K-12 institution located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, seeks a full-time dance educator to join the Performing Arts Department beginning September 1, 2026. Serving students from Kindergarten through Grade 12, this role is perfect for a dynamic educator who is passionate about dance education and interested in collaborating to develop a K-12 dance program.
The ideal candidate will hold an undergraduate or graduate degree in dance, have experience as a professional dancer, as well as experience creating or building a dance program in a K-12 school setting. Candidates should be passionate about bringing dance into the lives of all students, from kindergarteners who have never been in a dance class to high school seniors who have been studying dance for years. In addition to collaboratively developing a scope and sequence for dance, this educator will collaborate on existing performing arts productions and classes. In year one of the program, there will be classes scheduled for Lower and Middle School students and the teacher’s schedule will leave time to get to know the school and to begin to build out the program. In addition to working in performing arts, the ideal candidate will find opportunities to integrate dance into the small spaces where it can thrive in the School’s existing program across all three divisions (lower, middle and upper) and within a busy school schedule. The job will include some evenings and weekends. Collaboration and flexibility will be in high demand.
Professional responsibilities include contributing to the life of the school outside of the classroom, engaging in professional development opportunities, communicating with parents, fulfilling supervisory duties, and participating in committee work. A deep commitment to equitable teaching practices is a must.
Trinity School is an Equal Opportunity Employer and actively seeks candidates who will contribute to the diversity of its school community.
Interested candidates should submit a resume and a cover letter outlining their readiness for this position. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
Additionally, applicants should provide access to a portfolio or website(s) to show examples of their dance or dance teaching.
Trinity School is a college preparatory, coeducational independent day school for Grades K-12, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Founded as a charity school at Trinity Church in 1709 for 40 students, it moved to its current location in 1895 and now has an average enrollment of 1,000. Trinity is no longer sponsored by a specific religious body, and the Trinity community is characterized by religious, racial, and ethnic diversity. Since its founding, Trinity has continued its commitment to enroll a talented, motivated, and diverse student body from every economic and social background by providing over $4.5 million in financial aid to students at all grades. The school is organized into a Lower School (K-Grade 4), a Middle School (Grades 5-8) and an Upper School (Grades 9-12). The ratio of students to teachers is six to one. The faculty members of the school, with over 20 doctorates and 96 master's degrees from selective colleges and universities around the world, are extraordinarily talented and dedicated. Conversation between students and teachers is the essence of the Trinity education.
Trinity School is not seeking assistance or accepting unsolicited resumes from se...arch firms without a formal request from the school to provide such assistance. Without such a request from the Head of School's office, any resumes submitted by search firms to any employee at Trinity School will be deemed the sole property of Trinity School, and no fee will be paid in the event the candidate is hired by Trinity School.
An Equal Opportunity Employer, Trinity School seeks candidates who will add to the diversity of our school community. More than this, Trinity School is expressly committed to deepening its anti-racism practices and calls on all community members to engage in this work.
