Full Job Description
Dance Instructor - Ballroom & Partner Dance | $40,000-$150,000+
We're hiring full-time instructors who want a real career in dance, not a gig.

• Teach private lessons to adult students (this is the majority of your schedule and income)
• Lead group classes and host studio social parties
• Perform with students at showcases and Pro-Am competitions
• Monday-Friday, 12 PM-8:30 PM. Saturdays optional but recommended while you build your schedule.
What you earn:
• Guaranteed weekly base pay - you earn this even while building your student load
• Per-lesson pay on top (your income grows as your schedule fills)
• Competition income - instructors who compete with students earn significantly more
• Entry level: $40,000-$60,000. Established: $70,000-$100,000+. Top instructors: $120,000+

What we're looking for:
• Dance background in any styles - ballroom, Latin, or partner dance styles (salsa, bachata, swing) preferred
• You don't need to know every style. If you can move and you love to teach, we'll train you.
• Warm, professional, and great with people
• Ready to build long-term relationships with students - this is a teaching and relationship career
What makes DWM different:
We provide your students. Our marketing fills intro lessons - you focus on teaching, not finding clients. You walk into a full studio system with support, training, and a clear path: Instructor Coach Manager Studio Owner.
Our studios are built like palaces. This is not a gym.
