Rejoice School of Ballet is a non-profit dance studio that provides high quality dance training to children from diverse racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Rejoice seeks to provide a loving and safe environment for kids to foster their creativity, and to participate in an activity (dance) that will teach them qualities and skills to be successful later in life, regardless of their individual goals and pursuits.
Rejoice Teaching Assistants help out in our children's ballet classes and serve as an assistant to the primary instructor. While the Instructor runs class, the Teaching Assistant is in the studio:
- Assist the lead teacher with children's dance classes, helping demonstrate proper class participation, and gently redirecting students' attention as needed.
- Shifts are available during after-school hours (3:00-7:30 PM) on weekdays, and Saturday mornings.
- We are looking for Teaching Assistants to assist at all four Rejoice locations: East Nashville, Hadley Park Community Center, Barefoot Republic Community Center, and Smith Springs Community Center. All four locations are 20-30 minutes from Belmont's campus.
