Our new Instructor Development Program is built for you and launches soon. Follow us on Instagram to hear when the next intake opens.

Pop-Ups

New teachers start with a pop-up class or a pop-up series. Which one depends on your interests, the studio’s needs, and what’s open on the schedule. If you join us through our Instructor Development Program, your pop-up series also comes with mentorship.

Weekly Class

When your pop-ups do well and a slot opens up, you could land a regular weekly class on our schedule.

More Than a Work Study Program

Our Work Study Program gives you a lot back for a few hours a week: credits for drop-in classes, new friends, social events through the year, real studio experience, and skills that travel. Take on a regular shift as a Front Desk Assistant or Cleaning Assistant and become part of the team behind the studio. Applications are always open, and every application stays on file.
