The mission of the Holton-Arms School is to cultivate the unique potential of young women through the "education not only of the mind but of the soul and spirit." Founded in 1901 by two visionary women, Holton-Arms continues to cultivate a diverse, inclusive, and equitable school community, to tend to the health and well-being of its members, and to build a global curriculum that responds to the learners in our classrooms and the world around us. In this vibrant community committed to academic excellence, our students are scholars, artists, and athletes who find their voices, take risks, learn from mistakes, pursue leadership opportunities, and build lifelong friendships.
Caring, dedicated faculty and staff inspire our 665 girls and young women in grades 3-12 to realize the School's motto, "I will find a way or make one."
We seek applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds, talents, and interests who share a dedication and commitment to helping girls learn, grow, and make their way in the world.
The Holton-Arms School seeks a highly-skilled, innovative, collaborative, and enthusiastic Dance Teacher to join our robust Performing Arts team. The dance program provides students with the opportunity to develop their artistic voice, by building a strong technical background and giving students the chance to use these skills to express a variety of ideas through student choreography. Candidates must have experience teaching modern, contemporary, jazz, and ballet at the beginner through advanced level (additional dance styles welcome). They will also provide students with the choreographic skills and competencies needed to improvise movement, develop dance phrases with a clear expressive purpose, and to revise and complete their own student compositions. Candidates should be skilled at providing differentiated instruction to meet the needs of students with a wide range of skill sets. All aspects of Holton-Arms programming helps develop students' competencies around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Social Emotional Learning, and Global Education. These are integral to the dance program, and qualified candidates will be asked to continue and expand upon our work in these areas. The dance program seeks to create a space where students feel prepared to take risks, grow, and deepen their understanding of themselves, others, and their world. We invite candidates who are excited to further this vision.
