On-Site Dance Instructor

Location: Brentwood CA

About Us

We are a classical dance institution committed to preserving the tradition of Bharatanatyam while nurturing each student’s individuality and inner strength. Our space is more than a studio — it's a sanctuary where art, discipline, and transformation converge. We are now seeking instructors who are aligned with our values and vision.

​

What We're Looking For

We are hiring a dedicated Bharatanatyam Instructor to teach beginner-level students. This role requires deep commitment, integrity, and alignment with traditional values. We do not support multi-school affiliations — instructors must be exclusively associated with our institution.

​

Key Responsibilities

• Teach beginner-level classes with strong fundamentals in adavus and Alarippu.

• Instruct students of all age groups, fostering discipline, joy, and growth.

• Set clear weekly/monthly goals and adhere to a structured syllabus.

• Offer constructive feedback to support each student's unique journey.

• Assist with rehearsals, performance preparation, and assessments.

• Attend ongoing professional training under Guru Swathi Lakshmanan Aththai.

• Maintain a respectful, inclusive, and focused classroom environment.

• Support in content creation, event planning, and internal communication where needed.

• Uphold the ethos of dedication, punctuality, and responsibility.

​

Time Commitment

• Must be available to commit a minimum of 6 hours per week, which includes:

  • Class teaching hours, and

  • Regular professional training under Guru Swathi Lakshmanan Aththai.

• Additional hours may be needed during performance seasons or special events.

​

Qualifications

• Solid training in Bharatanatyam, with the ability to effectively teach adavus and Alarippu.

• Ability to recite jathis and sollukattu clearly, and sing basic compositions used in class — as we do not use recorded music during instruction.

• Prior teaching experience is a strong advantage, especially with children and beginners.

• Must be exclusively affiliated with our school — working at other dance institutions simultaneously is not allowed.

• Willingness to undergo regular mentorship and training under Guru Swathi Lakshmanan Aththai.

• Must have a non-competitive, team-oriented attitude, with honesty and deep respect for traditional teaching methods.

• Strong communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for the classical arts.
