Dear dancer,
Dance teacher jobs Blackpool dancers actually want: part-time work for trained dancers who are good with nervous people — hen party instructors, wedding first-dance choreographers and weekly class teachers. Between £22 and £25+ an hour, on days you choose, with the routine, the playlist, the room and the booking already sorted when you walk in. Ideal alongside a summer-season contract or a day job.
Apply
Tell us your styles, any teaching you've done and the days you're free. Applications are read by the people who'd be booking you, and you'll hear back inside two working days.
Got a CV ready? Send it to jobs@blackpooldancecentre.co.uk with a line on your styles and the days you can do.
The deal
Dance work in a seaside town is usually seasonal and badly organised. This is neither: year-round bookings, rooms sorted, groups briefed, classes filled before you set foot in them.
Hens and wedding coaching pay at the top of the range; class rates rise with the numbers in the room. Paid on time, without chasing.
Saturday afternoons for hens, weekday evenings for classes, weddings when the couple are free. Give us your available days and nothing gets booked outside them.
Ready when you arrive. The routine and playlist are in your inbox, the function room is booked, the group knows what to expect and the class is already full. What we can't supply is your energy and your eye for the person hiding by the wall.
Open roles
Mix them as you like. A Saturday hen, a midweek class and a couple's lesson in between adds up to steady part-time money that doesn't stop when the Illuminations do.
Deliver ready-made themed routines — Strictly, Grease, Chicago, Beyoncé, thirty-four others — to hen groups of ten to thirty, mostly in the town-centre function room we hire and sometimes at the group's hotel on the front.
Coach one couple at a time from a shuffle to a routine, in their home, at their venue or in a hired room. Ballroom or Latin background useful; patience essential.
Hold a weekly beginner-level class in your own style — one of the twenty we run, or a new one if you can sell it to us — at a town-centre studio, building a routine across each four-week block.
Teachers ask
No. We hire on training and presence — can you break a step down and keep a nervous room with you? A qualification is a bonus, a DBS is a must (we'll help you sort it), and a good share of our teachers came from the stage rather than a college.
It's set by you. Some instructors take a couple of Saturday hens a month around a season contract; class teachers hold one evening; a few do all three roles and treat it as a proper part-time job. Bookings only go into the days you've offered.
Yes — each theme comes with a routine and a playlist ready to go, so the work is teaching it well and bending it to the group in front of you. Bring us a new theme of your own and we'll pay for the choreography separately.
Self-employed, paid per session at the hourly rate. That's what keeps the hours flexible. You'll need public liability insurance or the willingness to get some; it's cheap and we can point you at the usual providers.
That's how several of our teachers do it. Hens run on weekend afternoons and classes on weekday evenings, so they slot around a show call or a day job without colliding.
Weekly classes: a studio in the town centre. Hens: mostly the function room we hire on Hornby Road, sometimes the group's own hotel along the front or the Fylde coast. Weddings: the couple's home or venue. Every booking comes with its location.
