The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC is seeking highly qualified teaching artists who are seasoned experts in their respective disciplines for vocal music, musical theater dance and acting. We are also seeking “elective” specialists, such as visual art, breakdancing, beatboxing, songwriting, and Improv.
The Performing Arts School serves students ages three months to adult at its facility at One Depot Square in Englewood every day of the week after-school and on weekends. In addition to the school itself, our robust Outreach program serves over 140 schools in Bergen County and beyond and we work with students ages PreK through 12th grade. We offer classes, in-school residencies, assembly programs and Co-Productions. Disciplines we offer include music, dance, early childhood, and theater. Co-Productions consist of us putting on a fully-produced musical in a school. Co-Productions are made up of a team of a director, music director and choreographer. We also have a large special needs program, where we teach in-school residencies in music, dance and theater to students with special needs.
