Job Description

The UW-Stevens Point Dance Program seeks a highly motivated, dynamic dance artist educator to join our multi-faceted undergraduate dance program.

The Dance Program offers a BA degree with broad and deep course work in dance technique, composition, and theory. As one of three faculty members, this position will support all areas of the curriculum. We prioritize a broad range of dance techniques including ballet, jazz, modern, and tap for all dance majors and minors.

The ideal candidate will be skilled in teaching all levels of ballet technique. Additional teaching in another dance technique style will be likely. We desire teaching experience in jazz, tap, hip hop/urban styles or any related technique other than modern/contemporary dance. Additionally, the successful candidate will have performance, choreographic, and educational experiences that support teaching a variety of theory courses including Dance Composition, Dance History, Movement Analysis, and Teaching Theories.

UW-Stevens Point is a teaching institution and a full-time teaching load includes 12 credits or 4 classes per semester. This position will likely teach 2-3 technique classes and 1 theory class per semester. This position will also contribute to the General Education program by teaching non-major dance technique classes that meet UW-Stevens Points Wellness requirement.

Additional non-instructional duties include: academic advising, student recruitment, mentorship of the student dance concert, scholarly/creative activity typical of all tenure track faculty, including annually choreographing new work for dance majors/minors, and service to the department, college, and university.

We seek candidates with professional dance experience and teaching methodologies that embrace the multi-centric perspectives in our field. Candidates will bring unique experiences and approaches to teaching and scholarship that expand traditional dance convention. Candidates will be outstanding teachers and mentors who will share their individual viewpoints and experiences with our dedicated students. Our department values anti-racism, inclusivity, and equity. As we intentionally aspire to address the need for systemic change in our department, the dance industry, and our greater community, we strongly encourage historically under-represented candidates to apply.

Please see instructions on our website to apply. All applicants must apply through our applicant tracking system.
