The deal
Teaching dance in Sheffield usually means chasing venues, chasing payments and building your own class from nothing. Here the class is already full when you walk in.
Hen sessions and wedding coaching sit at the top of the band; weekly classes rise as they fill. Paid promptly, every time.
Hens cluster on Saturday afternoons, classes on weekday evenings, weddings whenever the couple can. Tell us your days; we book inside them.
Prepared for you. Themed routines and playlists arrive ready to teach, the studio is booked, the group has been briefed, and the marketing has already done its job. You bring energy, timing and an eye for the person hiding at the back.
Open roles
Plenty of our teachers do a hen on Saturday, a class on Wednesday and a couple's lesson in between — it adds up to a proper part-time income.
Teach themed routines — Grease, Beyoncé, Dirty Dancing and thirty-five more — to hen groups of eight to thirty at a studio we hire in Sheffield city centre, or at their accommodation across South Yorkshire and the Peaks.
One couple at a time, from a nervous sway to a full routine, at their home, their venue or the studio. A ballroom or Latin grounding helps; patience matters more than stage credits.
Run a regular beginner-friendly class in your style — any of our twenty, or a new one you can make a case for — at a city-centre studio, building routines over four-week blocks and a loyal group over the year.
Teachers ask
No. Strong training and the ability to hold a room count for more than a certificate. Qualifications are welcome, a DBS is required (we'll guide you through it), and several of our best teachers came straight from performing.
Whatever you make available. Two Saturday hens a month suits some instructors; a class teacher holds one fixed evening; combine all three roles and it becomes a proper part-time income. We book only inside the days you give us.
No — every theme arrives with a routine and playlist ready to teach. Your job is delivery, energy and adapting it to the room. If you'd like to create a new theme, we'd love to hear it, and it's paid extra.
Self-employed contractor work, paid by the hour per session, which is what gives you the flexibility. You'll need public liability insurance or be willing to arrange it — we can point you to affordable cover.
Yes, and most of our teachers do. Hen sessions sit on weekend afternoons and classes on weekday evenings, so they fit around a day job, university or other teaching without a clash.
Weekly classes and most hen sessions run at a studio we hire in the city centre. Some hens happen at the group's accommodation across South Yorkshire or in the Peak District; wedding lessons are at the couple's home or venue. We tell you the location with each booking.
