About Dance With Me
Founded by world-renowned dancers Maks and Val Chmerkovskiy from DWTS, Dance With Me is one of the fastest-growing ballroom dance organizations in the United States.
Our mission is simple: change lives through dance.
We help people build confidence, achieve personal goals, develop meaningful relationships, and discover a passion they never knew they had.
We’re looking for a leader who is passionate about developing people, building high-performing teams, and creating exceptional customer experiences.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional management position.
We’re not looking for someone to simply oversee schedules, manage administrative tasks, or supervise employees.
We’re looking for someone who can develop talent.
Someone who can inspire a team, raise performance standards, coach individuals to achieve more than they thought possible, and help drive the growth of an entire business.
If you’ve successfully led teams, coached people to higher levels of performance, and enjoy building relationships with clients, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do
Lead and Develop Talent
At Dance With Me, our managers are coaches first.
Your primary responsibility will be developing instructors into confident, high-performing professionals. You’ll work closely with your team to improve their teaching skills, communication, leadership presence, student retention, and sales performance.
You’ll conduct regular coaching sessions, provide ongoing feedback, identify growth opportunities, and help each instructor reach their full potential.
The best managers don’t simply oversee a team—they create one.
They build a culture of accountability, professionalism, growth, and excellence. They recognize potential in others, help people break through limitations, and take pride in seeing their team succeed.
A great manager can dramatically impact the performance of an entire studio by helping instructors become stronger teachers, leaders, and professionals.
