We are seeking inspiring and forward-thinking Contemporary Dance Specialists to join our Artistic Team, to help us prepare young dancers for today’s diverse and evolving industry.
We are looking for a dynamic practitioner who brings passion, creativity and rigour to the studio- someone who can challenge, support and elevate young artists as they grow in technical ability, physical intelligence, creative confidence and professional readiness.

You will nurture dancers through a comprehensive curriculum that prioritises:
* technical excellence
* physical conditioning and dance science-informed practice
* musicality, phrasing and rhythmic play
* creative problem-solving and choreographic development
* ensemble collaboration and performance artistry
You will also play an active role in student support, choreography, rehearsals, performance preparation and pastoral care, helping students develop resilience, confidence and a strong sense of artistic identity.
About You
We welcome applicants who are:
* Experienced teachers of contemporary dance with strong professional backgrounds
* Skilled in floorwork, contact work, improvisation and dynamic movement vocabulary
* Passionate about developing young talent through safe, inclusive and inspiring teaching
* Engaged with current industry practices and committed to lifelong learning
* Collaborative, organised and energetic, with excellent communication skills.
A recognised teaching qualification is desirable but not essential for the right candidate.
