How Much Should You Charge For Dance Teacher Jobs?

In order to fly, you have to be free

— Li Cunxin (Mao's Last Dancer) —

Who doesn't want a job where they get paid a salary for working and doing something they love every day? Admit it—you have a passion for dance and it's your dream to work as a dance instructor and maybe, one day, start your own academy.

What are you waiting for? Superprof can help you achieve your goals.

When people start to search for dance jobs, their foremost question is usually: What price will students be willing to pay for my classes?

How much is too much—or too little?

To save you the hassle, we've put together a guide on how much you can expect to be paid per hour in a teaching role, depending on different factors.

The best tutors available

Let's go

Location

As a teacher, the amount clients will pay for your private lessons will be largely determined by your location and your competitors.

Cost of living and competition will affect how much people are able to pay you as a dancing instructor | Source: Visual Hunt

The approximate hourly rate dance teachers charge is dependent on two factors when you consider location:

the average take-home salary of potential clients in your region
the number of other teachers who offer the same style of dance instruction as you

If you teach in a low-income area, your rates will likely be lower. However, if you are one of the only nearby instructors for your style, you can command a little more than average.

What are your options when you're looking for somewhere to work as a dance teacher?

Local economy dictates the rates you can charge (and still expect to get dance teacher jobs), for example, if you're advertising in the centre of Sydney, you can safely ask for higher fees than if your lessons are held in the outer suburbs.

Likewise, if you offer hip hop lessons in your area, along with twenty other professional teachers or studio classes, you'll need to lower your rates to stay competitive.

So, what are the average prices for an hour-long tutorial in some of Australia's larger cities?

Melbourne: $30 per hour
Sydney: $32 per hour
Brisbane: $25 per hour
Perth $39 per hour
Wollongong: $33 per hour
Adelaide: $17 per hour
Townsville: $37 per hour

The average rate across Australia that private tutors can expect to be paid for dance jobs is $24 an hour, however, you can see that it varies greatly between states.

Using the Superprof platform, you can check the rates other tutors are working for, particularly those who might be teaching near you. Also, spend some time looking at how many tutors offer the same dance style as you.

Armed with this information, work out what you can offer in your classes that will make students want to start learning with you. Then, when you set up your profile or create your fliers, make sure you emphasise your skills and your 'value-added' when it comes to your lessons.

Once you've decided, double-check that your rates cover your costs. You don't want to pay more for the rent on your studio than you earn from your classes.

Area of Expertise

What is your dance specialty? Do you have training and experience with choreography? Are you keen to start teaching jazz ballet, African dancing, classical ballet, salsa or good old rock and roll?

Your area of expertise will need to be considered when you are working out your rates. Factors including technical difficulty of the style (e.g. classical ballet), competition from other tutors and whether you're working with beginners or advanced level students will all have an impact on the fees you set.

One top tip: find out what dance styles are being taught at your nearby dance school or academy—if they are not offering what you are planning to teach, you can safely raise your fees.

Whatever you charge, however, you need to ensure you always prepare your lessons professionally and ahead of time.

To get you started on your search, we've listed a handful of average rates charged by Superprof dance tutors:

Tango: $52 per hour
Salsa: $39 per hour
Choreography: $29 per hour
Waltz: $49 per hour
Ballet: $40 per hour
Breakdancing: $30 per hour
Zumba: $23 per hour

Remember to think about what you can do to make your classes stand out. Students are always looking for an instructor with a difference—someone they feel they are getting more than just the basic education or training from. Think about cultural links, theatre or drama aspects or performing techniques.

The more unique your teaching style seems, the more people will be happy to pay.

Promote yourself. Emphasise your expertise in your advertising and on your profile with Superprof.

The best tutors available

Lesson Type

What Level?

Another factor that will determine your hourly rate is the level (beginner, intermediate, advanced, children, adults) of your lessons. Related to this is the purpose of the session (training, recreation, fitness).

Clients who are in training to audition for an elite ballet school will need more of your attention and expect to pay a much higher rate than those who are only looking at dance as a form of fitness or leisure activity.

Dance jobs and tutoring can be a lucrative source of income if you choose the right niche | Source: tazzanderson

Dance schools and private teachers generally divide their lessons into three experience levels:

Beginning
Intermediate
Advanced

There is no predetermined amount of time or experience a student needs to move into the next level. In fact, it is ultimately up to the individual teacher (or to a lesser extent, the school) to determine the level and the rate. Consider the preparation time needed to meet the student's goals and the amount of time it will take to get them there when you are determining how much you will charge.

It is not uncommon for dance teachers to be asked for specific services. If these requirements take extra time to plan, you should apply increased rates to reflect this. Such events may include:

bride and groom's first dance
school formal preparation for primary and secondary schools
choreography for a special event
secondary school performing arts showcase
longterm training for students who intend to apply for a dance academy or performing arts school
mentoring students who intend to apply for dance teacher jobs
team teaching with drama teachers to stage a secondary (or primary) school musical
focus on specific dance movements, styles or techniques

Any teacher or tutor who does not charge appropriately for the hours they devote to preparation and teaching time tend to lose credibility—always charge what you know you're worth!

What Resources?

Certain dance styles require specific resources, such as clothing or props, particularly when it comes to performing but also for general practice.

Make sure you adjust your rates accordingly if you choose to supply your students with necessary resources and equipment, including:

clothing items (tights, happi coats, etc.)
footwear (tap or ballet shoes, zori etc.)
props (scarves, fans etc.)
music and audio equipment (including microphones if needed)

Which Location?

Dance classes take place in various locations, all of which carry associated costs and need to be incorporated into your rates.

Your home: electricity, cleaning
Student's home: transport
Studio, classroom, community hall: rent costs

Your Teacher Profile

Your Teaching and Dancing Experience

Many prospective students will ask about your experience before they enquire about your qualifications.

While qualifications are important if you apply for a high-level job in a performing arts academy, individual students are more interested in whether or not you're experienced when it comes to dancing and teaching.

An experienced, but unqualified tutor or teacher is often valued over a highly qualified, yet inexperienced teacher.

Which category best describes you?

A passionate self-taught dancer with no formal dance education
Skillful student, currently enrolled in a university-level dance course or at a performing arts school
Fully qualified teacher with experience at a professional dance school or similar

Each type of tutor has the experience for dance teacher jobs, however, their rates may look very different.

Your Dancing and Teaching Qualifications

With or without experience, some students or schools may say they need you to have a qualification in dance and/or dance education.

While formal qualifications are not necessary for private tutors, having certification will justify you charging a higher hourly rate.

If you do decide to pursue formal dance education, you will need to decide what course of study to undertake. These range in length (and price):

short courses (4 to 8 weeks)
certificate course (approximately a year)
diploma (1 to 2 years)
bachelor degree (4 years)
masters degree (2 years post-graduate)

For tutors whose goal is to open their own studio or academy, a formal qualification would certainly be an advantage, along with some work in business studies and management.

Student Testimonials

A great reference or testimonial from a past student is worth its weight in gold! The more the better.

On the Superprof platform, tutors with the best student ratings will be listed first, meaning they catch the attention of prospective new students. To receive a good rating, your lessons need to be organised and good value, but you also need to have a friendly and engaging approach.

Positive reviews mean you can charge higher fees.

With a combination of great reviews and the right rates, you will grow your student base even in the most obscure of disciplines, such as:

Kpop
Kathak
Chinese dance
Bharatanatyam
Acrobatic dance
Reggaetón
Bachata
Kizomba
Street jazz

Discounts for Group or Block Dance Jobs

Potential clients want to know they are getting value for money.

Providing the option of '5 classes for the price of 4' or other similar package-style discounts will make your regular students feel valued, and attract new clients. Private dance lessons on a weekly basis can add up—offering discounts and incentives sends the message that you care about your students.

Other ways you can promote your 'value-added' benefits on Superprof include:

giving your first session for free, with no obligation
online lessons at a cheaper rate
lower per-person rates for group lessons, or at less popular times
discounts for longer sessions
negotiated (or one-off) rates for specific events (such as an intensive lesson prior to an audition)
'mate rates' — discounts for family and friends
discounts for referrals

Remember, if your clients feel they are getting value for money, they'll recommend you to their friends. Word of mouth is powerful advertising.

Using these tips and hints, you should now feel confident to work out your hourly rates as a dance teacher.

Jobs in Poland as a dancer - the best vacancies in 2022.

Which Polish bank can open an account for foreigners?

We have compiled a small rating of Polish banks that offer foreigners the opportunity to open an account.
1. ING Bank Sląski
This organization is considered one of the most reliable in Poland - it has been operating since 1981. Allows foreigners to contribute and does not provide for payment by account, but the transfer of funds will cost PLN 40.
2. Bank Millennium
One of the most presentable banks. Foreign clients can be consulted in Russian and Ukrainian. An advantageous offer for our compatriots is the Konto 360 ° program.
3. Bank Pekao
The beginning of the bank's work dates back to 1929, there were 1000 branches in Poland. The institution is reliable, offers flexible deposit programs for foreigners. The most popular is Eurokonto Mobilne.
4. PKO Bank Polski
A state-owned bank with many representative offices in the voivodships, a developed banking infrastructure and a loyal attitude towards foreign depositors. Ukrainian recommend considering the contribution of PKO Konto za Zero.
5. Alior bank
Another reliable Polish bank offering 0 zł payment. There is no commission for withdrawing funds from ATMs in Ukraine, and the cost of transfers is about 30 PLN. All this is offered by Konto Internetowe.

How to send a money transfer to Ukraine with a minimum commission?

Ways to transfer money between Poland and Ukraine - only part of the variety of options available. According to the NBU, in 2018, Ukrainians transferred $365,000,000 to their homeland from Poland. And there are enough people who want to bite off their commission piece from this “pie”.
In terms of convenience, it is worth noting systems that allow you to transfer money online, using Polish and crediting to a Ukrainian bank card. TransferGo allows you to make free transfers, but sacrifice time. Paysend, on the contrary, for a fixed fee - instant transfers. Both systems offer goodies in the form of referral programs. In turn, TransferWise relies on multicurrency and is more suitable for freelancers whose counterparties are located in different countries of the world.
Interesting payment cards that many do not know about
Giants Western Union and MoneyGram continue to bet on offline customers who prefer to deal with cash. This is where speed comes into play. You can receive money at a bank branch of another country in a few minutes after sending. But it can be expensive and not always convenient - you need to go to the department, and they do not work around the clock. If you need to make an instant transfer from online to offline - WU is an excellent choice.
SWIFT transfers are focused on fairly large amounts of money, when security is first of all important - the cost and speed of the transfer here go by the wayside. Monobank, which uses the European SEPA, is an interesting, innovative, but, probably, still not a mass method.
“Handicraft” transfers stand apart, such as “I am familiar with the PrivatBank card” or simply sending money through bus drivers (this is also practiced). Here everything is on trust and at your own peril and risk.

How to call a taxi in Poland and how much does it cost?

Prices for Polish taxi services. The fare in Poland by taxi depends on many factors, including daytime or nighttime trips within the city, in districts or to a neighboring settlement, whether the passenger has luggage, and the like. There is a kind of division into three tariffs: the first, the cheapest tariff - travel around the city; the second, more expensive, turns on when leaving the city; third, the most expensive, a journey from one Polish city to another. The cost of the first tariff starts from 2 zlotys per kilometer (for corporations that have set the lowest price). There are companies that already offer more expensive services here. When leaving the city, the so-called second tariff begins to operate, the price of the trip increases by 50%. This rate also applies to weekends and days that are considered public or religious holidays. If you need to go to a neighboring city or commune, then the cost increases by another 50% (or twice the original rate). This is the third tariff, which is called "return", that is, the passenger actually pays for the return of an empty car to his hometown.
Taxi call. Another great innovation is that in Poland there is a single number for calling a taxi, which is very easy to remember - 919. In addition, you can use landline phones of various services. For example, the following companies operate in Warsaw: Express Taxi - telephone 196 63; Gold Taxi - phone 196 88; Super Taxi - phone 196 22; City Warsaw - telephone 194 59 You can also call a taxi in the Polish capital from a mobile phone, and some companies specifically indicate very simple cell numbers: 22 866 66 66 (Prestige Taxi), 22677 77 77 (Merc Taxi).

How to find an inexpensive hostel for workers or tourists?

There are a lot of hostel booking services in Poland. Especially for you, we tested one of them - booking.com. Other services are similar and differ slightly, but we can only recommend what we have tested ourselves.
Be careful when booking online - use only proven services. Otherwise, there is a threat to pay scammers and be left without ordered services.
Using the services of the booking.com portal is quite simple - you just need to fill in all the fields of the request form and get the result. Let's present a brief instruction on how to book a place in a hostel:
On the main page, select the address of the hostel. To do this, enter the city in the "Place" field, and then a complete list of available places to stay will be provided. You need to choose a specific address or stop at all offers in the city.
Specify the length of stay - the date of arrival and, accordingly, departure from the hostel.
The next item is "Are you traveling for work?", where you must select "yes" or "no".
Select the number of people - children and adults separately.
Click the "Check Prices" button.
A full list of possible offers will be provided where you can book a room in the hostel. Please note that a menu with a large list of additional conditions "Select by criteria" will appear on the left - this will help narrow down the list of offers in accordance with specific requests. First of all, it is necessary to put a “tick” in the “Hostels” column.
In the top menu next to the choice of language, there is an item "Select currency" - it can be set in any monetary unit or set to "Hotel currency".
Clicking on a specific hostel offer will open a page with detailed information. A little lower will be listed free rooms and their cost.
Choose the right one. To do this, in the line of the table with its description, in the column "Select a room", indicate the number of the room (from the list of proposed ones).
After entering the number in the right column, the "I'm booking" button will appear, which should be clicked.
Next, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire of a potential tenant. The question is standard, but it should be remembered that the full name data must be filled in in Latin, in accordance with the spelling in the passport.
Press the appropriate button and complete the booking.
For greater convenience, it is better to register on the booking.com website by linking a payment card to your profile. In this case, all payments will be made automatically, and it will be easier to rent a hostel in Poland.

Over the past few years, Poland has seen great economic growth, the development of industry, tourism and an increase in living standards. Territorial neighborhood, attractive wages, simplified employment conditions, the opportunity to receive a Polish pension - these are not all the advantages that this country offers to foreign workers. Work in Poland as a dance teacher for Ukrainians will help you realize yourself, achieve success.

Features of the work of dancers

This vacancy is not as common as a builder or electrician. The employer offers permanent or temporary employment for the summer season. It depends on who hires the worker and for what purpose.

Work in Poland as a dancer for a long period can be obtained by:

teachers in professional dance theatres;
choreographers;
dance teachers in schools, ballet clubs, cultural and educational institutions in Poland.

Some companies offer Ukrainians training and the opportunity to obtain a European bachelor's degree.

Various entertainment establishments offer temporary employment: clubs, hotel complexes, large holiday homes. They offer jobs for dancers who need to take part in performances, theatrical productions for guests. This position involves an irregular schedule and a large number of evening and night shifts.

You should be careful when applying for a job and thoroughly familiarize yourself with the terms of the employment contract. Polish law provides for heavy fines for both parties upon discovery of an unofficial immigrant. Of course, the employer will have to pay significantly more than his staff. However, the latter is also threatened by deportation and a ban on entry into the Schengen countries for a certain period.

Salary and working conditions

Work in Poland as a choreographer includes many diverse duties:

Search, selection and training of group members. After the formation of the core staff, it is also necessary to develop the preparation and structure of the educational process.
Implementation of the theatre's work plan. Formation of the program, creation of productions that correspond to the desired scenario.
Conducting rehearsals. The leader adheres to the training schedule, arranges general runs of the performance.
Preparing costumes. The choreographer must also consider what accessories may be needed. He sees the full picture of the dance and thinks through the color, style and quality of stage clothing.

Work may also include the need for constant tours around the country, performances in different cities. For some, this is a desirable goal, where a thirst for change, a love of travel is realized. For a worker who came to Poland with his family or with a child, such a regime of life and work may become impossible.

Quite often they look for teachers of children's clubs. In this case, a stable schedule and place of work are guaranteed. However, it is necessary to be able to handle children and have relevant experience.
