Join Our Newcastle Team

Newcastle is one of our busiest cities now and the bookings keep coming — regular classes, weekend hen dos, first-dance work and school workshops, every one crying out for trained dancers who can hold a room.

Paid Properly

Regular classes from £22 an hour, hen dos and wedding choreography from £25 — the rate is settled before you begin, it arrives on time, and you are never stuck chasing a late payment.

Around Your Career

You name the hours you can spare; we fit the work to them. A lot of our Newcastle teachers do somewhere between a couple and ten hours weekly, worked in around auditions, contracts and touring — and drop it back the moment a big job turns up.

Room to Build

Grow a regular class of your own while our marketing does the filling, pick up paid gig calls from the events we run, and swap between role types as you branch out.

Positions Available

There are three role types — pick one or take on all three. If you teach a spread of styles, you get the earliest choice of slots on the Newcastle timetable.

Hen Party Instructor

From £25/hr

Take hen groups through a themed routine, either at a studio in town or wherever they are based for the weekend — the most upbeat and best-paid work on the books.

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

Wedding Dance Choreographer

From £25/hr

Put together first-dance routines with couples over private, unhurried sessions — a steady, patient manner matters far more than a flashy résumé.

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

Regular Class Teacher

From £22/hr

Hold a weekly class in whatever style is yours, pull together a loyal crowd and expand out from that — filling the room is our job, through our marketing.

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

Dance Jobs Newcastle FAQ

What dancers tend to want to know before they sign up to teach with us in Newcastle.

Do I need a teaching qualification to get dance jobs in Newcastle?

Nice to have, never required. What lands the role is real training or stage experience plus the ability to command a room. A good number of our finest teachers arrived at teaching through performing, not the reverse.

What do dance instructors in Newcastle get paid?

A weekly class pays from £22 an hour; hen and wedding choreography opens at £25. We agree the figure ahead of every job, it is paid promptly, and it climbs as your hours build.

Which dance styles are you hiring for in Newcastle right now?

All twenty styles on the timetable — from ballet and ballroom through to street, K-pop and heels — as well as hen party leaders and wedding choreographers. Our Newcastle diary stays full, so whoever teaches several styles gets booked up first.

Is the work employed or freelance?

It is freelance and flexible, set around when you are free. Some stick to a single weekly class; others fold classes, weekend hen dos and school workshops into a near-full schedule. There is no use-it-or-lose-it about any of it.

I still perform and audition — will teaching work around that?

You are exactly the person we are after. Nearly all our Newcastle teachers are performers themselves, fitting classes between jobs. Let us know how your weeks tend to fall and we will match the teaching to it — then pause it whenever a tour books in.
