Dance Hourly information

What is a Dance Hourly?

A Dance Hourly is typically a dance instructor or performer who is compensated based on the number of hours worked, rather than a salaried or full-time position. These professionals may teach classes, lead workshops, or perform at events on an hourly basis. The role often offers flexibility, allowing individuals to work at multiple studios or venues. Dance Hourlies are responsible for preparing lesson plans, demonstrating techniques, and providing feedback to students or audiences. This arrangement is common in dance studios, community centers, and private instruction settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a dance hourly, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Dance Instructor (Hourly), you need strong dance technique, teaching experience, and often a background in performing arts or dance education. Familiarity with music editing software, class scheduling tools, and sometimes first aid or child safety certifications are commonly required. Excellent communication, patience, and motivational skills help instructors engage students of all ages and abilities. These competencies are essential for delivering effective instruction, ensuring student safety, and creating a positive learning environment.

What are some common challenges faced by dance hourly instructors, and how can they be managed?

Dance hourly instructors often face challenges such as managing fluctuating class sizes, adapting to varying skill levels among students, and maintaining high energy throughout multiple sessions. Effective communication and flexibility are key to addressing these challenges, as instructors frequently adjust lesson plans on the fly to suit the needs of each group. Building rapport with students and staying organized with scheduling can also help maintain a positive classroom environment and reduce stress associated with inconsistent hours.

Who we are in Clarkston:
My name is Daniel Rutherford, and I am the owner of the Clarkston Michigan Fred Astaire Dance Studio. In 2016 I began taking ballroom dance lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studios after a personal loss. I had no dance experience and was scared to death to sign up alone. My dance instructors helped me find my creative side and today I compete as an amateur at Pro Am ballroom dance competitions. Dance has brought tremendous JOY to my life, and I want to help our team and our students to experience the JOY of dancing! Take the scary step today and explore joining our Clarkston team!
Who we are across the nation:
Fred Astaire Dance Studios® is the leader in ballroom dance instruction across the country and around the world. Founded in 1947 with one studio on Park Avenue in Manhattan, we have grown our franchise network to over 200 dance studio locations continuing the legacy of Mr. Fred Astaire.
People ask, "Why do students stay with Fred Astaire Dance Studios®?" It is because of the atmosphere of kindness, warmth and care given and received at every location. It's what our students tell us they notice from the first time they step inside our studio - an energy and sense of "FADS community" that is welcoming, non-judgmental, and FUN!
Fred Astaire Dance Studios® has something for everyone. We offer group and private lessons, choreograph wedding dances or just prepare the happy couple and wedding party for the big day, provide opportunities to perform in beautiful venues, host local parties for dance practice and comradery and we host an average of 35 spectacular branded National, Inter-Regional and Regional Dance Competitions annually giving our students and professionals opportunities to compete in a variety of categories.
Requirements
You will meet and work closely with people from all walks of life which will give you a level of personal enrichment unlike any other environment. 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 events that take place on some weekday evenings and some weekends which you will want to attend with your students.
Benefits
Once trained, an average instructor makes 50,000 per year, many dancers make more. Yes, you heard that right! ($600 a week until fully trained).
Monetary bonuses.
Student Loan Repayment Contribution by Company
Healthcare benefits
Full -time and Part - time positions available.
