Teaching in Ipswich FAQ
The questions instructors tend to ask before joining the Ipswich team.
Do I need a teaching qualification to apply for dance jobs in Ipswich?
Nice to have, never essential. What lands the job is professional training or real performance experience plus the knack of holding a room. Several of our strongest instructors came to teaching through performing, not the reverse.
How much do dance instructors get paid in Ipswich?
Weekly classes begin at £22 an hour; hen-party and wedding work starts at £25. Rates are agreed before each booking, paid on schedule and lifted as your hours grow.
Which dance styles are you hiring for in Ipswich?
Every one of the twenty styles on our timetable — ballet and ballroom through to street, K-pop and heels — and we also want hen-party instructors and wedding choreographers. Cover several styles and your Ipswich week fills fastest.
Is this full-time work or freelance?
Freelance and flexible, shaped around when you're free. Some teachers take a single weekly class; others pile classes, weekend hen dos and school workshops into almost-full weeks. None of it is use-it-or-lose-it.
I still perform and audition — can teaching work around that?
That's precisely who we want. Most of the Ipswich team are jobbing performers who teach between contracts. Give us your availability pattern and we'll shape the diary to it — then pause it the moment you book a tour.
