Dance Performance Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Turn Your Passion for Fitness & Dance into a Thriving Career! ????????

Are you a personal trainer who loves to inspire others and values the power of movement? Do you have a knack for coaching, motivating, and helping clients achieve their goals? Fred Astaire Dance Studios is looking for passionate, energetic, and dedicated individuals like YOU to join our team as Ballroom Dance Instructors!

This is more than just a job—it’s an exciting opportunity to combine your fitness expertise with the world of dance. Whether you’re an experienced personal trainer or new to dance, the skills you’ve honed in fitness will be a perfect fit for this role.

Inspire & Motivate: As a personal trainer, you’re already great at helping people push their limits and achieve personal milestones. As a dance instructor, you’ll get to do the same—empowering students to achieve their own dance goals, whether that’s learning a new routine or simply gaining confidence on the dance floor. Your coaching skills will translate perfectly into motivating students to keep progressing and feeling their best.

Expert Communication & Instruction: Personal trainers know how to break down complex movements and explain techniques clearly. That’s exactly what you'll do as a dance instructor—guiding students through each step, correcting form, and offering feedback in an encouraging way. Your ability to explain concepts and connect with clients will make learning dance an enjoyable experience for students.

Understanding of Body Mechanics & Movement: With your background in fitness, you already understand how the body moves, how to maintain posture, and how to prevent injury. This knowledge will be invaluable as you teach dance. You’ll be able to help students improve their posture, flexibility, and strength, all while keeping them safe and building their confidence in every step.

Fitness & Dance Go Hand-in-Hand: Dance is a full-body workout that builds strength, endurance, and flexibility—skills you’re already familiar with as a personal trainer. You’ll love showing students how dance can enhance their overall fitness while offering them a fun, creative way to stay active.

Build Long-Term Relationships: Personal trainers excel at building lasting relationships with clients, and as a dance instructor, you’ll have the same opportunity to create meaningful connections. Whether you’re teaching a couple their wedding dance or helping someone discover the joy of ballroom, you’ll make a real impact on people’s lives—and help them build skills they’ll carry with them forever.

Comprehensive Training: You don’t need prior dance experience to get started! We’ll train you to become a certified dance instructor, combining your fitness knowledge with dance techniques that will empower you to teach effectively.

Earning Potential: Competitive base pay plus opportunities to earn more through private lessons, performances, and dance events. As you gain experience, you can increase your income by taking on more clients, leading special events, or growing your own dance business.

Flexible Schedule: With flexible hours, you can maintain a balance between your career and personal life, all while pursuing your own dance and fitness goals outside of work.

Supportive, Fun, and Creative Team: Join a team of fellow fitness professionals who share your passion for movement. We foster a positive, supportive environment where you can continue to grow and succeed, both professionally and personally.

Ready to use your fitness expertise to help others discover the joy of dance? Apply today to become part of the Fred Astaire Dance Studios team and turn your passion into a thriving career!
