Job Description

Are you passionate about dance and inspiring young children?

babyballet York & Selby is looking for an enthusiastic and nurturing Dance Teacher to join our growing team. We are an award-winning preschool dance school, delivering fun, engaging and high-quality classes to children aged 6 months to 6 years.

You’ll initially train and shadow an experienced babyballet teacher while supporting the launch of our new Easingwold classes.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves working with young children, enjoys performing and dancing, and wants to make a positive impact during children’s early years.

Hours: Saturday mornings (4 hours)
We operate during school term times and half terms, with breaks over Christmas, Easter and the summer holidays.

Pay: £18 per babyballet class plus £5 per tap class (approximately £82 for a Saturday morning)

Even if Easingwold isn’t the ideal location for you, we’d still love to hear from you as more opportunities are expected across the York and Selby area.
