Join Our Aberdeen Team

Our Aberdeen books rarely stop growing — weekly classes, Saturday hen dos, first-dance choreography and school workshops all want trained dancers who can properly teach.

Paid Properly

Weekly classes pay from £22 an hour; hen and wedding choreography from £25. Every rate is fixed before the booking and paid on the dot — no waiting, no invoice ping-pong.

Around Your Career

You tell us the slots, we book into them. Plenty of our teachers run anywhere from a couple of hours to most of a week, threading it between shows, tours and offshore rotations — and they park it the moment a contract turns up.

Room to Build

Start a weekly class of your own and let our marketing pack it out, take casting nods off our events list, and slide between teaching roles as what you can do widens.

Positions Available

Three sorts of role, taken singly or all at once — and whoever teaches across a few styles gets the earliest pick of the Aberdeen week.

Dance Jobs Aberdeen FAQ

The things dancers usually ask before putting in for a spot on the Aberdeen team.

Do I need a teaching qualification to apply for dance jobs in Aberdeen?

Nice to have, never a must. The job goes to real training or stage time plus the ability to command a room — plenty of our sharpest teachers picked up the teaching on the floor rather than off a certificate.

What do dance instructors earn in Aberdeen?

Classes pay from £22 an hour and hen or wedding choreography from £25. We agree the figure before you start, pay it promptly, and lift it as your hours build.

Which styles are you hiring teachers for?

All twenty on the timetable — from ballet and ballroom to street, K-pop and heels — alongside hen party leaders and wedding choreographers. Whoever teaches a handful of styles books up the fastest here.

Is it full-time work or freelance?

Freelance, and fitted to whatever you can give. One weekly class is plenty for some; others pile up classes, weekend hen dos and school workshops toward a full diary. Skip a quiet week and you lose nothing.

I still perform and audition — can teaching work around that?

Exactly the people we want. A big share of the Aberdeen team gig for a living and teach in the gaps — between tours, stage runs and offshore rotations. Send your pattern and we shape the work around it, then hit pause when a job comes in.
