Day-to-day operating brief
What Dance Teacher (Street/Ballroom) work looks like in practice
A Dance Teacher delivers street, ballroom or mixed-style tuition to children or adults in classes and rehearsals. Terms should define genres and competence, venues, age groups, class levels, choreography, music rights, partner rotation and contact, footwear and floors, costumes, performances, competitions, recordings, safeguarding, attendance and the boundary with therapeutic or accredited examination work. Street and ballroom teaching involve different partnering, footwear, floor use and performance conventions. The teacher may plan graded technique, social classes, showcases or competition routines, with clear authority over music, costumes and safe lifts. Terms should address physical corrections and consent, partner changes, safeguarding for children, changing facilities, image permissions, choreography ownership and substitute teaching. Employers should also state whether examination preparation is included, which awarding-body rules apply, how private lessons are scheduled and how a sprung, polished or temporary floor is checked before travelling steps begin.
Individually written and reviewed against the maintained role record.
