Ballroom Dance Teacher

QuickSteps has started a ballroom dance teacher training program.

Applications close 10 August 2015.

If you are too late, follow us on Facebook to be informed about the next opening.

Applicants require no partner dancing experience (ie Ballroom, Latin, Swing) but previous dance (ie ballet, jazz, tap etc) or sport experience a bonus.

Only people with awesomely fun personalities need apply!

QuickSteps is Adelaide’s largest ballroom dancing school for adults teaching over 140 lessons per week. In under five years, we have become Adelaide's largest social school, and the only school offering full time employment and long term career options. We currently have a team of 5 and growing.

Both ladies and gents are encouraged to apply!

Initially the teaching roles would be casual. Wedding season (October-April) brings an influx of new students wishing to learn their bridal waltz. 

What is important

- The right personality. When adults learn to dance, it's not only about dancing  - they want to have fun. Do you make people laugh and smile? If so, you'll love this job. Applicants who have enjoyed previous hospitality work are generally well suited.

Dance ability. You can't be a dance teacher without a natural ability to move. This doesn't mean you have to have prior dance experience - but people who have previous dance (jazz, tap, hip-hop, ballet, contemporary) or sport (ie soccer, tennis, gymnastics) tend to be the people with natural dance ability who become great teachers.

What are the perks of being a QuickSteps teacher?

•       The atmosphere. It's a great work environment with genuinely friendly people. 

•       Keep fit and healthy while at work while practicing dancing! 

•       Free, high quality dance training

•       Long term full-time career options for the right people - the only dance studio in Adelaide that offers this

What does the role involve?

•       Teaching beginners and intermediate students

•       Preparing students to dance their first dance at their wedding

•       Being a motivating and encouraging dancing role model

•       Converting new customers into long-term students with a passion for dance!

These positions are only for highly motivated teachers. There is an initial interview, assessment and then training for 1-4 months (depending on experience and ability) after which teachers start teaching their own students. Teachers usually teach part-time and as their lesson numbers increase, drop their other work commitments before moving into full time roles after they see how awesome their work-life can really be at Quicksteps!

So if you’re friendly, personable, highly motivated and think you can ‘shake your tail feather’ send us your resume with a cover letter explaining why you are the right person. Remember to make your application the one that stands out!

Apply by selecting 'Apply to this position' at the bottom of this page. You will need to attach a resume and fill out all the fields.

Please make sure you receive a confirmation email stating your application has been received. If you have not, please contact us by email.
