We're looking for candidates with strong proficiency in Ballroom & Latin or versatility across multiple dance genres. Experienced Ballroom & Latin instructors are welcome to specialize in those disciplines, while candidates from other dance backgrounds should be proficient in several styles.

The more styles you can confidently teach, the more opportunities you'll have to build your schedule and grow with our studio.

We're open to experienced instructors as well as talented dancers with the right personality, work ethic, and potential to become exceptional teachers.

Compensation & Schedule

We offer a guaranteed weekly base with opportunities to earn significantly more as your teaching schedule and clientele grow.
