MindLeaps seeks instructors in NYC with backgrounds in education, dance, movement or sports.

The instructors should have experience working with children. 

The instructors will work on a team of certified MindLeaps trainers to support the social-emotional learning of children from under-resourced communities in New York City.

These are paid positions with paid on-the-job training and paid staff meetings in between classes.

The instructors will co-teach the fun, aerobic MindLeaps curriculum consisting of a 45 minute warm-up, across-the-floor/diagonal, and choreography inserts. The instructors will have the opportunity to design and teach simple to advanced physical routines/inserts.

More About MindLeaps:

The MindLeaps curriculum harnesses the kinesthetic power of dance and movement to support 7 key social emotional and cognitive skills.

MindLeaps has long-term programs running in Rwanda, Guinea, Uganda, Mauritania, and North Macedonia. In 2022, MindLeaps is running pilot programs in the U.S., starting in New York City.
