Dance Jobs in Lancaster
Choreography and teaching work in the county town — freelance, flexible and paid from £22 an hour, slotted around whatever performing you already do.
Join Our Lancaster Team
There is steady demand up here — weekly classes, weekend hen dos, first-dance sessions and school workshops all want dancers who can hold a room and teach it something.

Dance Jobs Lancaster FAQ
What instructors tend to ask when they are weighing up a place on the Lancaster team.
Is a formal teaching qualification needed to teach here in Lancaster?
It helps, but is never a must. What lands the work is solid training or stage experience and the confidence to run a room full of strangers. Several of our strongest teachers came to it straight off the performing floor.
What does the teaching actually pay in Lancaster?
A weekly class pays from £22 an hour, while hen and wedding choreography sits at £25 upward. We settle the figure before you start, pay on schedule, and lift it as your hours build.
What styles do you need teachers for right now?
All twenty on the schedule — ballet, ballroom and tap right through to street, K-pop and heels — and we also want hen instructors and wedding choreographers. Anyone who covers several styles books up quickest.
Would this be freelance, or a salaried post?
It is freelance, arranged to fit whatever you can give. One person might run a single class a week; another links daytime classes, weekend hen dos and school workshops into an almost-full week. You never lose hours by leaving them unbooked.
Can I fit teaching around auditions and performing contracts?
Precisely the people we look for. A good share of the team are gigging performers slotting teaching between jobs. Send us the shape of your week and we will work to it — then put it on hold the moment you land a tour.
