Dance Jobs in Northampton: FAQ
The questions dancers most often ask before joining the Northampton team.
Do I need a formal teaching qualification to get dance jobs in Northampton?
It helps, but it is never required. What actually lands the role is solid training or real performance experience, plus the confidence to command a room. A good number of our teachers came to it straight from performing rather than through a certificate.
What do dance teachers actually earn in Northampton?
Regular weekly classes are paid from £22 an hour, and hen-party or wedding choreography from £25. We settle the rate up front on each job, pay it on schedule, and review it upward as your workload grows.
Which styles are you hiring teachers for in Northampton?
All twenty on the timetable, from ballet and ballroom through to street, K-pop, heels and everything in between, plus hen-party instructors and wedding choreographers. Cover a spread of styles and your week fills up quickest.
Is this salaried or freelance work?
Freelance and flexible, arranged around whatever hours you can give. Some people teach a single weekly class; others build classes, Saturday hen parties and school workshops into most of a week. None of it is locked in or use-it-or-lose-it.
I still perform and audition. Can the teaching fit around that?
That is exactly who we look to hire. A lot of the Northampton team are performers teaching in the gaps between jobs. Let us know the shape of your usual availability and we will fit the classes into it, then clear the diary the week a tour or run lands.
