What is a part time dancer?

Part time dancers are performers who work on a less-than-full-time basis, often participating in dance productions, classes, or events outside of a standard 40-hour work week. They may perform in a variety of settings such as theaters, clubs, schools, or community events, and often balance dance with other jobs or studies. Part time dancers can specialize in different styles like ballet, hip-hop, or contemporary, and their schedules are typically more flexible to accommodate other commitments. This role is ideal for those passionate about dance who seek flexibility or are building experience in the field.

What are some common challenges faced by part-time dancers in balancing multiple commitments?

Part-time dancers often juggle rehearsals, performances, and training with other jobs or educational pursuits, which can make scheduling and time management challenging. Additionally, they may face fluctuating income and limited access to benefits compared to full-time dancers. Staying physically conditioned and mentally prepared with less frequent practice can also be demanding, so strong organizational skills and discipline are essential. Many part-time dancers find success by maintaining clear communication with their employers and dance teams to coordinate schedules effectively.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time dancer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Dancer, you need strong technical dance skills, physical fitness, and a background in dance training or certifications. Familiarity with choreography, music editing software, and stage lighting systems is often important for performances. Adaptability, teamwork, and a positive attitude help dancers collaborate and perform confidently in variable environments. These skills and qualities ensure high performance, artistic growth, and reliability in a competitive and dynamic field.

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).
