Join Our Blackburn Team
Between weekly classes, Saturday hen parties, first-dance choreography and school workshops, Blackburn and Darwen hand us more work than we can cover — and every bit of it wants a trained dancer who can hold a class.
Paid Properly
£22 an hour to begin on weekly classes and £25 on hen parties and wedding choreography — the figure is set before you start, paid on schedule, with no invoices to chase.

Dance Jobs Blackburn FAQ
The things dancers usually want to know before joining the Blackburn team.
Do I have to be a qualified teacher to work for you in Blackburn?
Handy, but never a deal-breaker. What lands the role is solid training or genuine stage experience and the knack of holding a room. A good few of our strongest teachers picked the craft up on the floor rather than in a training college.
What does the pay look like for dance instructors here?
Weekly classes open at £22 an hour, with hen and wedding choreography from £25. The rate is fixed before each booking, paid on schedule, and moved up as you take on more.
Which styles are you actually recruiting for in Blackburn?
The whole timetable of twenty styles — everything from ballet and ballroom to hip-hop, K-pop, heels and tap — alongside hen-party leads and wedding choreographers. Blackburn runs a full diary, so anyone comfortable across a few styles books up quickest.
Is this employed work, or freelance?
Freelance and flexible, shaped to what you can offer. Some teachers keep to one weekly class; others pile up classes, Saturday hen parties and school workshops into near-full weeks. Nothing you turn down ever counts against you.
I still perform and audition — will teaching fit around that?
That is precisely the person we want. Most of the Blackburn team are working performers teaching between contracts. Tell us the shape of your week and we will build around it — then pause it the moment you land a tour.
