Join Our Preston Team

The Preston side of things keeps expanding — regular weekly classes, Saturday hen parties, wedding first dances and daytime school workshops all call for trained dancers who can also teach.

Paid Properly

Weekly classes pay from £22 an hour and hen or wedding choreography from £25 — the rate is settled before you start, lands on time, and never leaves you chasing an invoice.

Around Your Career

You tell us when you are free and we book into it. Most of our Preston teachers pick up two to ten hours a week around auditions, contracts and touring — and press pause the moment a job lands.

Room to Build

Build up your own weekly classes with our marketing pushing them, take casting leads off our events roster, and shift between roles as you grow.

Positions Available

Three kinds of role — do one or take all three. Teachers who cover several styles get first choice of the Preston timetable.

Hen Party Instructor

From £25/hr

Lead themed routines for hen groups, either in a central Preston studio or wherever they happen to be staying — the loudest, liveliest and best-paid weekend work we offer.

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

Wedding Dance Choreographer

From £25/hr

Choreograph and teach first dances for couples, one pair at a time behind closed doors — here a calm, patient manner matters far more than a glittering CV.

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

Regular Class Teacher

From £22/hr

Lead a regular class in whichever style is yours, gather a base of familiar faces, and scale up over time — our marketing keeps the room full while you teach.

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

Dance Jobs Preston FAQ

The questions we hear most from dancers weighing up a spot on the Preston team.

Is a teaching qualification required to apply for dance jobs in Preston?

Nice to have, never a requirement. What lands the job is professional training or stage experience plus the knack of holding a room. Some of our strongest instructors learned to teach by dancing first, not the reverse.

What do dance instructors actually earn in Preston?

Weekly classes begin at £22 an hour; hen party and wedding choreography starts at £25 an hour. Every rate is agreed before the booking, paid promptly, and revisited as you take on more.

What dance styles are you currently recruiting for in Preston?

Everything on our twenty-style timetable — ballet, ballroom, street, K-pop, heels and the rest — along with instructors for hen parties and choreographers for weddings. With the Preston diary staying busy, whoever covers several styles books out quickest.

Is this full-time work or freelance?

Freelance and flexible, shaped around when you are free. Some teachers keep to one weekly class; others pile classes, weekend hen parties and school workshops into almost-full weeks. Nothing is use-it-or-lose-it.

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

Those are precisely the people we want. Nearly everyone on the Preston roster is a gigging performer slotting teaching between jobs. Send us the shape of your week and we will work with it — then put it on hold the moment a tour comes in.
