Dance Jobs in Nottingham
Nottingham Dance Centre is after warm, quick-thinking teachers and routine-makers to front hen parties, couples' first dances and our weekly timetable right across the city. Tell us which hours fit around your week, pocket a rate that stacks up, and you could be teaching a stone's throw from Old Market Square before long.
Teach Dance in the Middle of Nottingham
Our city-centre studios get busier every term — two universities on the doorstep see to that — and we'd welcome open-handed, capable teachers to build with us. If a paid teaching slot in Nottingham or freelance choreography work is what you're chasing, the odds are there's a role here with your name on it.
A Rate That Stacks Up
Weekly classes kick off at £22 an hour, while hen parties and first-dance coaching start at £25. No invoice to keep nagging about — what you've earned drops in on time, every single week.
Hours Set Around You
The diary is yours to plan. Lean into evenings, take the weekends, or split the difference — we build the timetable around the gaps you've got free. Most teachers clock somewhere between two and ten hours a week.
Plenty of Headroom
A friendly, supportive base with straight feedback, CPD within reach and the freedom to spin up classes of your own. When you do well, so do we — which is exactly why we back every teacher on the books.

Dance Jobs Nottingham FAQ
The things would-be teachers most often ask us before joining Nottingham Dance Centre.
Do I need a teaching certificate to take on dance work in Nottingham?
There's no qualification on the must-have list, though it's a nice extra if you hold one. What we weigh far more heavily is proper dance training, time spent performing, and a knack for getting a whole room up and grinning. Show us you can lead a session that stays safe, lively and well taught, and we'll happily set up a chat.
What hourly rate do teachers earn at Nottingham Dance Centre?
A standard weekly class begins at £22 an hour. The specialist work — hen-party sessions and couples' first dances — opens at £25 an hour. Pay gets a regular look, and it edges up the longer you teach alongside us.
Which styles are you hiring teachers for in Nottingham?
We recruit across the whole 20-style line-up we run — ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, street, hip-hop, commercial, salsa, bachata, tango, ballroom, heels, K-pop, bollywood, belly dance, flamenco, burlesque, pole, line dancing and Irish. On top of that we sign up hen-party leaders, plus choreographers for wedding first dances.
Is the work at Nottingham Dance Centre employed or freelance?
Both are on the table — freelance if you prize the freedom, or an employed setup if a steadier footing suits you better. Either way the hours bend around your life: weeknight evenings, weekends, or a blend of the two. Most of our teachers land on roughly two to ten hours a week around whatever else they're juggling.
Is it worth getting in touch if I only teach one style?
Absolutely. We're glad to bring on a specialist in a single style and pair you with the classes that suit you best. Covering a few styles only broadens the range of slots you can take — but one discipline is plenty to begin with.
