Ballroom/Partner Dance Instructor Dancing Together San Diego, CA Job Details Part-time $36 - $44 an hour 1 day ago Benefits Flexible schedule Qualifications Teaching visual & performing arts Content creation Latin Choreography Teaching Full Job Description Are you an enthusiastic, motivated partner dance instructor looking for a great teaching environment? We are a small, boutique-style studio seeking a part-time instructor who brings both skill and genuine care to their work. Our students are a joy to work with—primarily social dancers, beginners exploring partner dance for the first time, and a consistent flow of wedding couples preparing for their first dance together. If you enjoy teaching in a relaxed and focused atmosphere—where you have control over the music, setting, and lesson flow—this may be an excellent fit for you.

About you:

We're looking for someone with experience teaching wedding couples, and who is comfortable leading, following, and putting together simple choreography. A friendly and approachable teaching style paired with professionalism is essential. This is currently a part-time role, with the opportunity to expand over time. Building your schedule will happen gradually, so a patient, long-term perspective is important. While your teaching days will remain consistent, we offer some flexibility in scheduling. Teaching availability may include afternoons, evenings and weekends. Styles you'll teach: Ballroom, Latin, Swing, general social dancing, and personalized wedding choreography. Instruction is primarily private (one-on-one or small groups), with occasional off-site events and opportunities to participate in video content creation.

Additional details:

In accordance with California AB5 law, this role is classified as a W-2 employee position (not an independent contractor). Workers' compensation coverage is provided, and we contribute toward payroll taxes. Pay is structured per lesson, ranging from $27 to $33 for each 45-minute private session. Group class rates range from $40 to $150 per hour depending on class size and format and location. This is not a high-volume, noisy dance environment. Instead, we offer a calm, intimate space designed to support both student learning and instructor success. If this sounds like a good fit, we'd love to hear from you.
