Join Our Leeds Team

There's more coming into the Leeds books every month — regular weekly classes, weekend hen parties, first-dance choreography and workshops in schools — and all of it needs trained dancers who can genuinely teach.

Paid Properly

Weekly classes pay from £22 an hour and hen or wedding choreography from £25, every figure settled before you start — money arrives when it should, with no invoices to chase down.

Around Your Career

Tell us the hours you can spare and we shape the rest around them. Plenty of our Leeds teachers do anywhere from a couple of hours to most of a week, wedged between auditions, tours and contracts — and everything pauses the second a gig calls you away.

Room to Build

Build a weekly class into a proper following with our marketing doing the legwork, take on casting that comes through our events roster, and shift between roles or add new ones as your range grows.

Positions Available

Three kinds of role below — take just one or line up all three. The broader your range of styles, the earlier you get to claim the best Leeds slots.

Hen Party Instructor

From £25/hr

Lead themed routines for hen groups at our Call Lane and Holbeck studios or wherever they're staying for the weekend — the liveliest, best-paid Saturday work we've got.

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

Wedding Dance Choreographer

From £25/hr

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

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

Regular Class Teacher

From £22/hr

Take a weekly class in your strongest style, gather a regular crowd and grow it from there — while our marketing quietly keeps the room full behind you.

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

Dance Jobs Leeds FAQ

The questions instructors most often ask before joining the Leeds team.

Do I need a teaching qualification to land dance jobs in Leeds?

Handy, but never a must. What actually lands the role is solid dance training or real performing experience plus the knack for holding a room. A good few of our best instructors came to teaching straight off the stage rather than out of an exam hall.

What do dance instructors earn in Leeds?

A regular class starts at £22 an hour, with hen party and wedding choreography from £25. The rate's agreed before each booking, paid when it's due, and nudged up as you take on more.

Which dance styles are you hiring for in Leeds?

Every one of the twenty on our timetable — ballet and ballroom right through to street, K-pop and heels — plus hen party leaders and wedding choreographers. Teachers who cover several styles fill a Leeds week the quickest.

Would the work be salaried or freelance?

Freelance and flexible, arranged around whatever you can offer. Some teachers keep to one weekly class; others pile up classes, weekend hen parties and school workshops into an almost-full week. None of it is use-it-or-lose-it.

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

That's precisely who we're after. Most of the Leeds team are working performers who teach between contracts. Give us the pattern of when you're free and we'll build around it — then put it on hold the moment you land a tour.
