Studio Background
Dance Pointe Performing Arts Center, School of Dance, Drama and Music, is a privately owned studio that was founded in 2002. We have 1 location in Selden.
To see a map of our location click here.
We have approximately 250 students attending weekly classes. We cater mainly to children. About 95% of our students are between 3 and 16 years old. We welcome adult students but our suburban market area has resulted in a student base of mainly children.
We strive to provide a fun but educational environment with well organized administration and first rate equipment and facilities.
Why teach with us?
Music Teaching Positions
1. A constant flow of new students to keep schedules as full as possible.
Over the course of the year, students can move or quit. This can leave a teacher with gaps or holes in their schedule. Most students register and start lessons in September. Most music and dance schools only advertise in late August and September for new students. At our studio we contribute back to our advertising and marketing budget year round to keep our teacher’s schedules as full as possible. Each year we consistantly advertise in newspapers, direct mail, community publications and other media to constantly attract new students and grow our programs. We are continually registering new students for our private music lessons even during typically slower registration months like May or June.
2. Extras are taken care of – your only responsibility is to teach.
At all of our locations we have full time front desk administrators to handle all of the “details” of teaching. From scheduling to collecting fees or arranging an accompanist for recitals, these details are handled by our administrators not the teacher. This means the teacher is free to focus on teaching and not get bogged down by administration.
3. Your time is respected and you are paid whether or not students show up.
Teachers are paid half the lesson fee for lessons whether students attend or not. If a student misses classes for school trips or holidays with no prior notice to our desk staff, the teacher is still paid if the gap is not scheduled to another student or closed by desk staff. If it is gap at the end of the teaching day, the teacher is not paid, but can leave early. The only time a student is given an extra make up lesson is if the student is sick and they can only have 2 make-up lessons per year for sickness. Our priority for our teachers is to make sure that your time is not abused and your teaching day can be as productive as possible.
Dance Teaching Positions
As a dance teacher you have two different studios you can choose to teach in. If you have freedom to express your artistic style through your teaching, the main difference will be how the organization of the studio affects your satisfaction and ability to focus on your teaching.
Here are reasons why dance teachers choose to teach at our studio:
1. Small class sizes.
We limit class sizes to make classes easier to control and monitor for teachers and to give more personalized attention to students. Our classes for ages 3-5 are limited to a maximum of 10 students per class. Our classes for ages 6 and up are limited to a maximum of 12 students per class.
2. Full time administrative support.
In many studios there is no receptionist on duty. This means that the teachers are faced with administration details when they should be concentrating on teaching. We have full time front desk administrative staff during class times to handle routine questions and details that arise.
3. Floating Marley dance floors in all studios.
We use professional floating Marley dance floors in our dance rooms. Our dance floors rest on a system of 700 high density foam blocks. This dance floor helps prevent injuries and fatigue. A good quality floor is a consideration if you are going to be teaching for a few hours each day. A supportive quality floor allows you to protect your most important assets – your body and your ability to teach.
4. Extras are taken care of.
We take care of all of the extra details throughout the year. Teachers are not required to collect any fees or do any costume measuring. We engage our teachers with the tools necessary to keep your students aware of all upcoming events. We also take care of all the organization of yearly recitals. We have everything well organized so the teachers are free to concentrate on teaching, music, choreography and nothing else.
