Fred Astaire Dance Studios is excited to be adding to our team of professional dance instructors. We are currently hiring for a Dance Instructor outside of Albuquerque, CO. If you love interacting with people, having fun, helping others, staying very active, and having control over what you earn, you will love a career with Fred Astaire!

As a high energy, customer-focused instructor, you will conduct private and group dance classes throughout the week. You and your Fred Astaire team will help students reach their personal dance goals through many different ways – from a single event to a lifelong journey of dance growth.

Our mission is enriching lives through the power of dance and we welcome everyone who is interested in starting their dance journey.
