Dance Teacher

Part-time Dance Teacher

Cranleigh are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic Part-time Dance Teacher for September 2024 to lead an expansion of Cranleigh Senior School’s co-curricular Dance programme. Dance is entering an exciting phase at the senior school with the overall aim for it to be firmly established as a vibrant and central part of our co-curricular offering in Performing Arts, alongside Music and Drama. 

The launch of a new Dance Studio this term will help provide the springboard to develop the current programme into a more comprehensive and varied programme that will inspire wider participation and high level performance in Dance. 

The main duties include leading and coordinating the Senior Schools Co-curricular dance programme, inspiring pupils to sign up to a range of Dance classes, leading dance-based sessions as part of the school’s Health and Wellness programme, and collaborating over productions that may require dance choreography.

The ideal candidate will have a degree or diploma in dance, previous teaching experience, an ability to motivate and inspire young people, an ability to create and teach original routines, and knowledge of the history and theoretical aspects of different dance styles. They will also have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to form positive relationships with professionals, pupils and their parents/carers.

The hours are estimated to be 7 hours per week, primarily worked on two regular afternoons (Tuesday and Thursday) a week running Dance classes along with some non-contact administration time each week. Additional flexible hours will be required in weeks when organising, rehearsing and leading Dance Shows and Performances.

The salary will be £35.00 per hour including holiday pay.
