DANCE CLASS ASSISTANTS
Dance Class Assistants help our instructors at our weekly, hour-long, in-person dance classes, as well as during our online, daily dance classes.
Role:
In-Person Classes:
Help set up and break down the studio
Assist during the hour-long dance classes to help our participants as needed. Some require assistance getting up and down, a hand for stability or a second person for partner exercises.
Helping the teacher as required with administrative tasks such as attendance, etc.
Helping to motivate the class by participating along with attendees, with a bright smile and lots of positivity!
Online Classes:
Scroll through and watch the "boxes" to ensure everyone looks safe. If you notice an issue (i.e. someone looks incredibly out of breath, unwell, or falls, please communicate this to the teacher ASAP). Do not hesitate to interrupt the class if need be.
If the instructor's video connection fails, please remain online, and let the participants know that the instructor shall return and they are welcome to keep dancing together
At the end of class click "allow participants to unmute themselves" and remove the teacher's spotlight
There will be a 10 - 15 minute chat period that you are welcome to stay for but you are not obligated to if you need to leave
Experience/Skills Required:
No dance experience needed
Comfortable helping individuals who have mobility issues, and an ability to sense when an individual needs a hand
Enthusiasm and dependability are key
