Theative Performing Arts


Job Summary

Join our friendly teaching team in Streatham! We’re seeking an experienced Ballet, Tap & Modern teacher for regular Saturday classes with children from toddler age to 12, with opportunities for additional teaching as our school grows. £25-£30ph teaching rate.

Job Description

Theative Performing Arts is an established, inclusive children’s dance and performing arts school based in Streatham, South West London.

We’re looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and highly dependable Ballet, Tap & Modern teacher to join our Saturday team.

We believe excellent technical training and joyful, creative classes should go hand in hand. We’re looking for much more than someone who can simply deliver a syllabus: we want a teacher who genuinely enjoys working with children, takes pride in their progress and wants to become an invested member of our wider school community.

Saturdays run from 8.15am-1.30pm and currently include:

Toddler Story Time Ballet
Minis 1 Core Dance Combo, ages 4-6
Minis 2 Core Dance Combo, ages 6-8
Juniors 1 Core Dance Combo
Juniors 2 Core Dance Combo

Core Dance Combo incorporates ballet, modern/jazz and tap, including RAD Ballet and ISTD Modern Theatre & Tap syllabus work.

Several students are currently preparing for ISTD exams from Pre-Primary to Grade 2, so confident syllabus and exam preparation experience is particularly valuable.

Teaching rate: £25-£30ph depending on experience and qualifications. Required setup, pack-up and admin duties are paid separately.

This is initially a Saturday role, with potential for additional weekday teaching, holiday camps, exam coaching and performance work as the school grows.

We’re ideally looking for someone who wants to become a long-term member of the Theative team.

Job Requirements

Applicants should:

Have strong technical/vocational training in ballet, modern/jazz and tap
Have substantial experience teaching all three genres
Be familiar with ISTD Modern Theatre & Tap syllabi
Have exam preparation experience
Be familiar with RAD Ballet or willing and confident to learn the relevant syllabus
Have experience teaching from toddlers/preschoolers through to older children
Understand child development and dance pedagogy
Have excellent classroom management
Be organised, reliable, proactive and well prepared
Genuinely care about students’ individual progress

At least one recognised dance teaching qualification, such as ISTD DDE, RAD or equivalent, or current teacher training, is preferred.

Enhanced DBS, safeguarding, First Aid, right to work in the UK and appropriate PLI required.
