Dance Jobs in Bolton
Paid teaching and choreography shifts across Bolton and the borough — freelance hours from £22, slotted around whatever performing work you are already chasing.
Join Our Bolton Team
Work in Bolton is picking up quicker than we can staff it: weekly timetabled classes, weekend hen bookings, couples after a first dance and workshops in local schools. Every one of them wants a trained dancer who can stand up and teach it.
Paid Properly
Twenty-two pounds an hour on the weekly classes and twenty-five on hen and wedding jobs, settled before your first session — the pay lands on time and nobody has to go chasing an invoice.
Around Your Career
Tell us the hours you can spare and we work around them. Most of the Bolton team teach anything from a couple of hours to a full evening or two a week, fitted between their own auditions and contracts, and step away completely when a job comes in.
Room to Build
Put your own name on a weekly class and let our marketing bring the numbers, hear about castings through our events people ahead of time, and move between hen, wedding and class work as you find your feet.

Dance Jobs Bolton FAQ
The questions we hear most from dancers weighing up a spot on the Bolton team.
Do I need a formal teaching qualification for dance jobs in Bolton?
Nice to have, never a dealbreaker. What actually lands the work is solid training or real stage experience plus the knack for holding a room. A fair few of our strongest teachers came to it straight off performing, not through a certificate.
What do dance instructors get paid in Bolton?
Weekly classes open at £22 an hour and hen or wedding choreography at £25. The rate is pinned down before each booking, paid on schedule, and nudged up as you take on more.
Which styles are you hiring teachers for in Bolton?
The full twenty on the timetable — ballet and ballroom through to street, K-pop and heels — plus hen party leaders and wedding choreographers. The Bolton diary rewards anyone who can cover a handful of styles at once.
Is this full-time or freelance work?
Freelance and flexible, built onto your own availability. Some people take one weekly class and leave it there; others pile up classes, weekend hens and school workshops into a proper week's worth. None of it is use-it-or-lose-it.
I audition and take contracts — can teaching sit alongside that?
That is precisely the person we want. Most of the Bolton team are performers first who teach in the gaps between jobs. Give us the rough pattern of your availability and we build round it — then park it the week a contract or tour turns up.
