Have experience in contemporary, street, or hybrid movement practices
Are interested in teaching and facilitation (not just performing)
Are open to structure, collaboration, and ongoing learning
Are interested in working with diverse and multilingual student populations
 

Alignment, reliability, and curiosity matter most.
