Ballet Hispanico is currently accepting applications for full-year positions in the School of Dance division. We invite dance educators who specialize in Ballroom. 

The open program at the nationally accredited Ballet Hispanico School of Dance offers something for everyone. Developed with the highest level of artistic excellence offered at any dance institution; programs which support the recreational dancer interested in taking one to three classes a week.  With over 35 classes a week in a wide array of genres--from ballet and flamenco to hip-hop, salsa, and jazz--our students receive not only a thorough grounding in the primary techniques, but also specialized training in the rich and varied Latin American dance traditions, which for many is their cultural heritage.
