Join Our Cheltenham Team

There is more Cheltenham work every month — weekly classes, weekend hen do's, wedding first dances and school workshops all want skilled dancers who can teach a room, and it only gets busier through race week and the festival season.

Paid Properly

Weekly classes bring in upwards of £22 hourly, hen and wedding choreography upwards of £25 — each figure fixed before you begin, paid on schedule, with no invoice to chase.

Around Your Career

Give us your free windows and we schedule into them. A lot of Cheltenham teachers run anywhere from two to ten weekly hours between auditions, contracts and tours — pressing pause whenever a gig calls them away.

Room to Build

Grow a weekly class of your own while our marketing does the promoting, pick up casting leads from the events roster, and move across roles as your experience widens.

Positions Available

Three role types on offer — take a single one or combine all three. Whoever teaches across multiple styles gets first dibs on the Cheltenham timetable.

Dance Jobs Cheltenham FAQ

What dancers most often want to know before signing up with the Cheltenham crew.

Do I have to be a qualified teacher to get in?

Welcome, but not required. What really wins the role is solid professional training or real stage time, together with the presence to keep a class with you. A good number of our finest teachers came to it straight from performing, rather than the other way around.

What does the pay actually come to?

Standard weekly classes sit at £22 hourly to begin with; hen party and wedding choreography opens at £25. We fix every figure ahead of the booking, pay on schedule, and lift it as you pick up more work.

Which styles do you have openings in?

The whole twenty-style programme — from ballet, ballroom and tap through to street, K-pop and heels — plus people to lead hen parties and choreograph weddings. Because the festival calendar keeps things brisk, anyone fluent in a few styles fills their diary first.

Would I be employed full-time, or is it freelance?

It is freelance and flexible, fitted to the hours you offer. A few people stick with a single weekly class; others stack classes, Saturday hen parties and school workshops into nearly full weeks. Skip a week and nothing counts against you.

I am still gigging and auditioning — can teaching flex around that?

Honestly, that is our ideal hire. A large slice of the Cheltenham roster are jobbing performers who teach in the gaps between contracts. Tell us how your weeks tend to fall and we will build to it — and freeze everything the instant a tour lands.
