Teaching/Learning Opportunity

 My name is Susan, and I am the owner of Kindermotion and Dance of New England. We provide movement-based enrichment programs—including dance, creative movement, and physical education for young children in schools, child care centers, and community settings across Rhode Island.

I’m reaching out to ask if you might be willing to share an opportunity with students in the Dance and Theater Department who may be interested in gaining hands-on teaching experience while in school or following graduation. We frequently work with students and emerging professionals who are eager to build classroom leadership skills, gain confidence working with young children, and explore how their performance and movement training can translate into educational settings.

Our instructors teach developmentally appropriate classes for children ages 18 months to 8 years using a structured curriculum and receive training, mentorship, and ongoing support. This role is part-time and especially well-suited for students seeking flexible work, practical experience in schools or child care environments, and a chance to apply their creativity in a meaningful way.

If you feel this opportunity may be a good fit for your students, I would be grateful if you would share it with them or direct interested students to reach out. I’d also be happy to provide additional information or connect directly with a faculty member or internship coordinator if helpful.

Thank you for your time and for the work you do supporting the next generation of artists and educators. I truly appreciate your consideration

Kind regards, 
Susan
