Dance Jobs in Bradford

Freelance teaching and choreography roles across the Bradford district, from £22 an hour — hours you choose, wrapped around the performing life you already lead.


Join Our Bradford Team

Work keeps arriving on the Bradford books month after month — weekly classes, weekend hen parties, first-dance couples and school workshops — and every bit of it wants a professional dancer who's comfortable leading a class.

Money, Sorted Up Front

Regular classes start at £22 an hour and hen or wedding choreography at £25 — every rate agreed before the first session, paid to schedule, and you're never left chasing it.

Built Round Your Diary

Hand us the hours you can spare and we fit the rest to them. Some of the Bradford roster teach a single class a week, others stack most of a working week between shoots, tours and auditions — and it all goes on hold the week a booking pulls you away.

Space to Grow Into

Launch a weekly class and grow a following of your own — promotion's our job — with casting leads arriving via our events roster and the freedom to add or swap roles whenever you're ready.


Positions Available

Three role types — pick a single one or cover all three. Teach across several styles and you'll be first in line for the Bradford timetable.

Hen Party Instructor

From £25/hr

Run themed hen routines for groups in a city-centre or Little Germany studio, or out wherever they're based — the loudest and best-paid weekend work we do.

  • 38+ themes, choreography provided
  • 1–1.5 hour sessions
  • Studios & come-to-you across the district
  • Weekend availability essential

Wedding Dance Choreographer

From £25/hr

Create and coach couples' first dances in private, one-to-one lessons — the job rewards patience and warmth far more than a big showreel.

  • 1-hour private lessons
  • Your schedule, their song
  • Song editing support provided
  • Beginner-teaching experience essential

Regular Class Teacher

From £22/hr

Run your own weekly class in the style you're best at, grow a regular crowd from scratch, and leave the room-filling to our marketing while you teach.

  • 20 styles on the timetable
  • Evening & weekend slots
  • Adults & children's classes
  • Marketing support included

Dance Jobs Bradford FAQ

What dancers most want to know before signing on with the Bradford team.

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

Not something we insist on. Show us solid training or a real performing track record and the ability to run a class that pays attention, and the certificate is beside the point — a chunk of our Bradford instructors have never sat a teaching exam, they just danced for years first.

What does teaching for you in Bradford actually pay?

You'll earn from £22 an hour on weekly classes and from £25 on hen and wedding choreography. The rate is nailed down in writing before each booking, wages arrive on schedule, and there's a review upward as your week fills.

Which styles are you actually hiring teachers for in Bradford?

The full roster, basically — all twenty styles from ballet and ballroom right through to street, K-pop, Bollywood and heels, with hen-party teaching and wedding choreography alongside. The more styles you can take, the busier your Bradford week gets.

Is this a salaried job or freelance work?

It's freelance to the core, and you set the size of it. A single weekly class is plenty for some; others stack regular classes, weekend hens and school sessions toward a near-full week. The only thing you're on the hook for is whatever you've booked in.

I'm still gigging and auditioning — can teaching slot around it?

Exactly the kind of dancer this was built for. Nearly everyone teaching for us in Bradford performs for a living and fits classes around it — hand over your general availability, we'll schedule inside it, and when a contract calls, your classes go quiet and start up again once you're free.
