WHY WORK HERE?

Teaching at Northern Plains Dance is a rare and wonderful opportunity to be an integral part of a nonprofit that creates positive change in the lives of its students and their families as well as in the growing, diverse community through arts advocacy, dance education, and performance. The organization currently serves 225 students in its academy, produces 3 full length productions that reach an annual audience of more than four thousand, and touches thousands of students through its various outreach activities.

COMPENSATION

We believe that dance teachers shouldn’t have to hold multiple jobs to do what they love.   We offer full-timed salaried positions to qualified candidates.  Our benefit package includes paid vacation, health insurance and retirement.

ABOUT BISMARCK

Bismarck is a growing, thriving, changing town in the middle of the Great Plains. Perched on the east bank of the Missouri River and surrounded by vast, open lands, there is a spare beauty that invites and inspires. The center of downtown has been developed through a harmonious blending of architectural history with forward-thinking design; creative, independent restaurants, artists’ collectives, and intriguing local shops mingle with the business of healthcare, two university systems, and state government. Just outside the downtown core, residential neighborhoods climb the hills overlooking the river valley. The Bismarck school system is committed to providing students the opportunity to learn in an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and rigorous exploration; neighborhood schools abound at the elementary level, and the upper schools offer full arts programs in addition to sports and academics. Green spaces, the zoo, and the Heritage Center are just a few of the city’s cultural offerings. Bismarck has a community theater company, a symphony orchestra, and a summer stock program that presents two musicals each summer at an outdoor amphitheater in one of the city’s parks as well as numerous other music and theater organizations. Outside the city, the Missouri River meanders through farmland, natural spaces, and the richly historic geography of the Great Plains. There is space: to breathe, to be inspired, and to be rooted in a community of diverse, fearless, creative, strong, inquisitive, and compassionate people.
