WE'RE HIRING! DANCE TEACHERS WANTED

Join the Precision Dance Team for 2027!

Are you a passionate, reliable and enthusiastic dance teacher who loves inspiring the next generation of dancers?

Precision Dance is looking for dance teachers across ALL genres to join our team in 2027!

We are a well-established dance studio with locations across Tauranga, Pāpāmoa, Tauriko and Waihī, offering a wide range of classes for children of all ages and abilities.

At Precision Dance, we believe dance is about so much more than learning steps. We're passionate about helping children develop confidence, build strong foundations, express themselves and discover a lifelong love of dance.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're interested in hearing from teachers across all dance genres, including:

  • Ballet
  • Jazz
  • Contemporary
  • Hip Hop
  • Acro
  • Preschool Dance
  • Circus / Dance Cirque
  • Other dance styles and specialties

We're looking for teachers who genuinely enjoy working with children and are committed to providing high-quality, engaging and age-appropriate dance education.

Our ideal teachers will

  • Have a strong dance background and preferably some teaching experience.
  • Be confident managing a classroom and keeping students engaged, motivated and learning.
  • Understand the importance of correct technique, safe progressions and age-appropriate teaching.
  • Be reliable, punctual, organised and professional.
  • Be creative, enthusiastic and able to make learning enjoyable while maintaining structure and clear expectations.
  • Communicate effectively with students, parents and fellow team members.
  • Be committed to their students' development and consistent in their teaching.
  • Be willing to follow our studio syllabi, teaching programmes and professional standards.
  • Work well as part of a supportive and collaborative team.

Teaching experience is preferred but not essential. We'd also love to hear from experienced dancers who are interested in developing their teaching skills. The right attitude, work ethic and ability to connect with children are just as important to us.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • A friendly, supportive and collaborative team environment.
  • Established classes and structured teaching programmes.
  • Opportunities to teach a variety of ages, levels and dance genres.
  • Guidance, mentoring and opportunities for professional development.
  • Opportunities to be involved in performances, events and other studio activities.
  • A studio that values empowerment, passion, perseverance, commitment, individuality, integrity, gratitude and respect.

The safety and wellbeing of our students are a priority at Precision Dance.

All staff are required to undergo police vetting and appropriate safety checks before commencing work with our students.
