Join Our Kent Team

There is steady work in every corner of Kent — regular weekly classes, lively weekend hen dos, wedding first-dance coaching and school workshops all need trained dancers who know how to teach, from the Medway towns down to the coast.

Paid Properly

£22 an hour to start on weekly classes and £25 on hen and wedding choreography — every rate settled before you begin, paid promptly, with no invoices left chasing.

Around Your Career

You tell us when you are free and we fill those slots. Plenty of our Kent teachers juggle a handful of weekly hours around auditions, touring and contracts — then simply hit pause when a booking lands.

Room to Build

Start your own weekly class with our marketing driving the sign-ups, take casting leads off our events roster, and shift between roles as what you can offer widens.

Positions Available

Three kinds of role — take one or stack all three. Teachers who cover a few styles get first pick of the county timetable.

Hen Party Instructor

From £25/hr

Lead themed routines for hen groups at a hub-town studio or wherever they are staying — the liveliest and best-paid weekend work we offer.

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

Wedding Dance Choreographer

From £25/hr

Create first-dance routines for couples one-to-one in private lessons — a calm, patient manner counts for far more here than a flashy CV.

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

Regular Class Teacher

From £22/hr

Lead a weekly class in your own style, grow a loyal regular crowd and expand from there — our marketing does the work of filling the room.

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

Dance Jobs Kent FAQ

Common questions from instructors thinking about joining the Kent team.

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

Helpful, but never a requirement. What actually wins the role is solid training or real stage experience plus the knack for holding a room. Loads of our strongest Kent instructors came to teaching through performing, not through a certificate.

How much do dance instructors get paid in Kent?

Weekly class work begins at £22 an hour, while hen and wedding choreography begins at £25. Every rate is settled before the booking, paid on schedule, and nudged upward as your workload grows across the county.

Which dance styles are you hiring for in Kent?

Every one of the twenty styles we timetable — ballet, ballroom, street, K-pop, heels and the rest — plus hen-party leaders and wedding choreographers. Because the work stretches from Maidstone to the coast, teachers happy to travel and cover a few styles book up quickest.

Is the work full-time or freelance?

It is freelance and shaped around when you are free. One teacher might hold a single weekly class; another might combine classes, weekend hens and school workshops across a few Kent towns into an almost-full week. None of it is use-it-or-lose-it.

I perform and audition — can teaching fit around that?

They are precisely the people we look for. Most of the Kent roster are performers teaching in the gaps between contracts. Send over the shape of your availability and we will fit teaching around it — then stand it down when a tour comes in.
