Getting Substitute Dance Teaching Jobs
Years ago, before I became a dance teacher, I was a substitute dance teacher. I would take over for friends who could not teach their dance classes. It was wonderful experience for me and eventually the next year the studio owner gave me my own classes.
I strongly recommend aspiring dance teachers to start out substitute teaching. More impressive than a well written resume or glowing recommendations is actual evidence the studio owner can see that you are a responsible, qualified teacher.
Now that I am a studio owner, I know I like hiring dance teachers after they have successfully taught at my dance studio.
Now how do you get these substitute teaching jobs? Post your dance teaching resume on Dance Teacher Finder! It is the #1 resource dedicated to helping dance studios find teachers, and dance teachers find jobs. Dance studios use the dance teacher resume database to contact dance teachers when they are in a pinch. You could even get teaching jobs from dance studios that are not currently hiring but then after you teach for them, they might hire you for your own regular classes. So make sure your resume is in the database so they can contact you!
If you don’t have a dance teaching resume already, then check out our Dance Teacher Page, because Dance Teacher Finder also provides resume writing services and tips!
