About Dance Without Limits Dance Without Limits is a family-friendly, inclusive, non-competitive dance studio serving the Greenville and Simpsonville, SC communities. We offer classes for children ages 18 months to 18 years across a wide range of genres — ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical/contemporary, and acrobatics — as well as classes for students with disabilities and a growing adult program.

We believe deeply that dance is for everyone, and that the experience we create inside our walls is every bit as important as the technical training we provide. Our core values are not just words on a wall — they are lived out every day by our team:

Regardless of age, shape, size, or ability, every child deserves the chance to dance.

Every child has worth. Let kids be kids. Seek to serve. We look for ways to give back to our community and foster gratitude in our dancers.

This role is for someone who is just as passionate about serving recreational dancers as they are about developing great teachers. You will report directly to the Owner/Director, directly supervise a teaching staff of 15–20 instructors and 5–10 student assistants, and serve across both our Greenville and Simpsonville locations.
