By running our courses you can help provide a fun and healthy pastime that builds your local communities.

As a result of our fun and friendly style, lots of dancers have started dancing. Our beginner-level classes lead to a fantastic series of courses and introduce people to a wonderful swing dance community.

We are looking for potential team members who, due to their passion, are keen to train to become Swing Dance Company dance teachers on a part-time basis.  Once trained, our dance teacher will deliver our adult evening SwingJive courses in our fun and friendly style.

Ideally, you should have experience providing instruction in any field, be a good dancer or have taken at least some of our courses.

Our established training schedule develops trainees in one-to-one and small group sessions. You will spend time practising your skills in class as a teaching assistant.

By following our training plan you will improve your dancing, teaching and class management skills.

Depending on skills and experience, successful candidates could start teaching straight away. However, most new team members spend approximately 2 terms developing alongside a lead teacher before taking full responsibility for a course.

Whilst 10-week courses are central to everything we do, other opportunities may arise. These include private bookings at parties, festivals, schools and colleges, individual tuition and helping with our special events.

It takes a very special person to become a Swing Dance Company Teacher;

- your personality should match our fun, friendly and welcoming ethos
- you should share our interest in dancing, retro music and helping people become happier and healthier
- your attitude should be positive, encouraging and full of enthusiasm
- you should have a good presence, communicate well, and be sociable and personable
- you need to be available on at least 2 weekday evenings per week during term time
- have your own transport

Instructors are paid for their time in class, including through the training stage. The hourly pay rates are complimented with holiday pay, branded t-shirts and dance shoes for class wear. Sound equipment, music and lesson plans are provided by us. We also arrange venues, marketing and administration.

Instructors can work in class from 2 to 6 evenings per week. Candidates with a standard-hours day job would find 2 evenings per week optimal.
