Teach for Us in Reading

The Reading diary fills up fast and keeps on growing — weekly classes, hen parties most Saturdays, wedding choreography and school workshops, all of them needing trained dancers who can teach and hold a room.

Paid Fairly, Paid On Time

From £22 an hour on weekly classes and £25 on hen parties and wedding choreography — the rate is agreed before you begin, paid on schedule, with no invoices to chase.

Fits Your Career

You give us the hours, we fill them. Most Reading teachers do two to ten hours a week around auditions, contracts and tours — and pause the lot the moment a booking lands.

Room to Grow

Build a weekly class of your own with our marketing behind it, take casting tip-offs from our events roster, and move between roles as your range widens.

The Roles on Offer

Three kinds of role — take one or run all three together. Teach a few styles and you get first call on the Reading timetable.

Hen Party Instructor

From £25/hr

Teach themed routines to hen groups in a town-centre studio or at their accommodation — the highest-energy, best-paid weekend work we have going.

  • 38+ themes, choreography provided
  • 1–1.5 hour sessions
  • Studios & come-to-you across Berkshire
  • Weekend availability essential

Wedding Dance Choreographer

From £25/hr

Build first-dance routines with couples in private one-to-one sessions — calm, patient teaching counts for far more than a flashy CV here.

  • 1-hour private lessons
  • Your schedule, their song
  • Song editing support provided
  • Beginner-teaching experience essential

Regular Class Teacher

From £22/hr

Run a weekly class in your own style, build a regular following and grow it from there — our marketing does the job of filling the room.

  • 20 styles on the timetable
  • Evening & weekend slots
  • Adults & children's classes
  • Marketing support included

Your Dance Jobs Questions

The questions dancers ask most when they are weighing up joining the Reading team.

Do I need a teaching qualification to apply for dance jobs in Reading?

Helpful, but never essential. What lands the job is real training or performance experience and the knack of holding a room. Plenty of our best teachers learned to teach by performing first, not the other way about.

What do dance instructors get paid in Reading?

Regular classes start at £22 an hour; hen party and wedding choreography starts at £25. The rate is agreed before each booking, paid on time, and nudged up as you take on more.

Which dance styles are you hiring for in Reading?

All twenty styles on the timetable — from ballet and ballroom through to street, K-pop and heels — plus hen party instructors and wedding choreographers. Teachers who cover a few styles fill their week first.

Is this freelance or a salaried job?

Freelance and flexible, shaped around the hours you have. Some teachers take one weekly class; others stack regular classes, weekend hen parties and school workshops into full weeks. Nothing is use-it-or-lose-it.

I still perform and audition — can teaching fit around it?

That is precisely who we want. Most of the Reading team are working performers teaching between contracts. Tell us how your availability tends to fall and we will shape the work to it — then pause it the week you land a tour.
