  • Teach students that Respect and look up to you (Everyone will know you)

Full time salary starts at 30k base (usually a full time teacher in first year would earn 45k including bonuses), and can progress up to 60k if strong student base is built up (achievable in 2-3 years for motivated staff) plus superannuation. Experienced ballroom dance teachers can negotiate starting salary, and would progress to full salary sooner.

These positions are only for highly motivated teachers. There is an initial interview, assessment and then training for 0-5 months (depending on experience and ability) after which teachers start teaching their own students. Teachers usually teach casual or part time, and then move to full time positions within 6-12 months when they have demonstrated and continuorly worked on their ability.
