Deputy Head of Dance (Musical Theatre Courses)

Are you an accomplished Dance Tutor with experience of working in Musical Theatre and teaching at FE or HE level with a particular specialism in Musical Theatre Jazz?

Would you relish the opportunity to join a small established senior team of specialist dance practitioners with a particular focus on the Musical Theatre courses at one of Britain’s leading performing arts institutions from September 2026?

We’re looking for a Deputy Head of Dance (Musical Theatre Courses) to work with our Head of Dance and alongside a Deputy Head of Dance (Dance Courses) as part of a team of three. You’ll oversee, build upon, and develop a dance provision for our Musical Theatre courses that is engaging, insightful, and immersive. Leading a team of salaried and hourly-paid Dance Tutors, you’ll ensure our Musical Theatre graduates enter the profession as outstanding performers in this key strand of our triple-threat training.

This role has institution-wide vocational oversight over Jazz, Tap and Commercial across all courses. The Deputy Head of Dance (Musical Theatre Courses), in role as line manager, works particularly closely with the substantive and sessional tutors for Jazz, Tap and Commercial to ensure students at Italia Conti receive excellent and inspiring dance training across all courses.

Your skills as a dance practitioner and your expertise in musical theatre will mark you out as a strong candidate for the role. You’ll bring to bear your experience as a choreographer or in preparing students training for the profession or both.

The ability to work closely and autonomously with each of our Course Management Team and our Heads of Department and an understanding of the nuances of each programme and its requirements is a fundamental part of the role.

We would love to hear from you if you would like to be part of an organisation that inspire the next generation of creative artists.
