Join Our Leicester Team

There is more work in Leicester every month — regular weekly classes, weekend hen parties, first-dance couples and school workshops, all of it needing professional dancers who can teach.

Money That Adds Up

Weekly classes pay from £22 an hour and hen or wedding choreography from £25 — sorted before you start, paid on schedule, and never any invoices to chase.

Around the Career You Have

You tell us when you're free and we build the diary around it. Plenty of the Leicester team do just a couple of hours; others fill most of a week around auditions, gigs and touring — and everything pauses the instant a contract lands.

Dance Jobs Leicester FAQ

The things dancers usually ask before signing up to teach with us in Leicester.

How much does teaching for you in Leicester pay?

Weekly classes begin at £22 an hour and hen or wedding choreography at £25. Every rate is agreed before the booking, paid on schedule, and nudged up as your hours build.

Do I need a teaching qualification to teach for you in Leicester?

Nice to have, never required. What lands the job is genuine dance training or performing experience and the knack of holding a room — several of our best teachers came off the stage and picked up teaching as they went.

Which dance styles are you hiring for in Leicester?

Every one of the twenty styles is fair game — ballet, ballroom, street, K-pop, heels, bollywood and the rest — plus hen-party and wedding choreography work. Teachers who cover a handful of styles book out a Leicester week the fastest.

Is this salaried work or freelance?

Freelance through and through, built around the time you can spare. Some keep it to one class a week; others fill a near-full diary with daytime classes, weekend hens and school sessions. There's no use-it-or-lose-it catch.

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

Precisely who we're after. A good chunk of the Leicester team are working performers who fit teaching between contracts. Let us know your rough availability and we'll slot the work in — then freeze it entirely the week a tour or booking kicks off.
