TEACHERS

This page is meant for teachers at Elevate Dance Academy to learn about important information including requirements, sub list, payroll, and yearly dance calendar.

IMPORTANT

It’s extremely important that you are 5-10 minutes early for every class. You should be there to greet students, visit with them, and get class started on time. One of the most common complaints from parents is teachers arriving for class or starting late, and we want them and their students to get the most value from their classes.

Please use the large pushbrooms in each room to sweep the floors after each class. This helps us keep the studio clean and nice for everyone.

As a teacher at Elevate, you are required to find your own subs for your scheduled classes. Please check first with current Elevate teachers via the teacher text thread (let us know if you need to be added to that thread); if none of them can cover your class, we recommend reaching out to those on our sub list below.

If you get a sub, please email us (contact@elevatedanceutah.com) with SUB in the subject line and let us know who is subbing for you and which class(es).
