Audition for a career, not a gig. We will train you

Fred Astaire Dance Studios® is excited to add a Dance Instructor to our team. Whether you have years of dance experience or none at all, you could have a successful future with us. 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.

We maintain regular studio hours throughout the week; however, we host many events that take place on some weekday evenings and some weekends as well, which you will need to attend with your students.

Enriching lives – physically, mentally, emotionally & socially, through the positive, transforming power of dance.
