Join Our Newport Team

The Newport diary is filling out fast, and every corner of it wants trained dancers who can teach — a weekly class here, a Saturday hen party there, first-dance couples and the odd school workshop.

Paid Properly

Weekly classes pay from £22 an hour, and hen or wedding work from £25, all of it settled in advance and paid promptly — you will never once chase an invoice.

Around Your Career

You tell us when you are free and we book straight into it. Round here most teachers land somewhere between two and ten hours a week, then drop everything the moment a contract or tour arrives.

Room to Build

Start a class of your own and let our marketing pack it out, take casting leads off the events roster, and shift between roles whenever you fancy stretching yourself.

Positions Available

There are three roles going; do just one or pile up all of them. Whoever teaches several styles gets first dibs on the Newport timetable.

Hen Party Instructor

Run themed routines for hen groups, either at a city-centre studio or wherever they happen to be staying — it is the loudest, best-paid weekend work we hand out.

  • Studios & come-to-you across Newport and Gwent
  • Weekend availability essential

Wedding Dance Choreographer

From £25/hr

Choreograph first dances for couples one pair at a time, behind closed doors — a calm, patient manner takes you further here than any flashy CV.

  • Song editing support provided
  • Beginner-teaching experience essential

Regular Class Teacher

From £22/hr

Take a weekly slot in whatever style is yours, gather your regulars and let it snowball — our marketing handles the job of filling the room.

Dance Jobs Newport FAQ

The things dancers usually want to know before signing up with us in Newport.

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

Nice to have, but we never insist on one. A solid training background or real stage experience, together with the confidence to command a room, is what actually lands the work — a fair few of our finest teachers picked it up on the floor rather than in a classroom.

How much do dance instructors get paid in Newport?

Ordinary weekly classes begin at £22 an hour, while hen and wedding choreography opens at £25. Whatever the figure lands on, it is settled before you start, reaches your account on schedule, and climbs as your workload does.

Which dance styles are you hiring for in Newport?

Anything on the twenty-style timetable, be that ballet, ballroom, street, K-pop or heels, plus people to run hen parties and choreograph weddings. Teachers who cover more than one style tend to book their Newport weeks out first.

Is the work full-time or freelance?

It is freelance and bends to your schedule. One teacher might keep to a lone weekly class; the next piles classes, Saturday hen parties and school workshops into something close to a full week. None of it is use-it-or-lose-it.

I perform and audition — can teaching fit around that?

Those are precisely the people we look for. Nearly everyone on the Newport roster is a jobbing performer teaching in the gaps between contracts. Give us the shape of your week and we work with it, hitting pause the moment a tour comes in.
