f you’re a dance teacher looking for more bookings, support and connection, our Dance Teacher Directory (DTD) WhatsApp group is a brilliant place to be.
It’s an extension of the DTD community – designed to help teachers stay connected, supported and informed about opportunities as they come in.
The WhatsApp group is a space for dance teachers to:
• Hear about job opportunities (parties, workshops, classes, cover work)
• Chat and connect with other dance teachers
• Share ideas, advice and experiences
• Access marketing tips and content ideas to help grow locally
It’s friendly, supportive and focused on helping dance teachers succeed.
The DTD map is the main way customers find and book teachers.
Parents, schools, dance companies and our sister company Popdance all use the map to search for the nearest dance teacher and contact them directly.
This means:
• You get enquiries straight to you
• You manage your own bookings
• You keep 100% of what you earn
If we receive an enquiry and don’t have a teacher on the map in that area, that’s when we:
Share the opportunity in the DTD WhatsApp group
Sometimes also post in Facebook groups
So the WhatsApp group gives you:
• Extra chances to pick up work
• Visibility of what’s coming in
• Opportunities to travel if you want to
But importantly…
👉 Teachers on the map are always our first priority for bookings
We’re regularly receiving enquiries for:
• Children’s dance parties
• School workshops and clubs
• Community classes
Typical budgets from Popdance are around:
• £75/hour for classes and workshops
• £215+ for dance parties
That’s why being visible on the map is so important – it puts you first in line when these enquiries come in.
Other dance companies may offer lower rates.
The WhatsApp group isn’t just about jobs.
It’s a place where dance teachers:
• Ask questions
• Share wins
• Support each other
• Learn new ways to grow their business
Whether you’re new to teaching or experienced, it’s great to be part of a community that genuinely wants each other to succeed.
To keep the group professional and high-quality, we ask that all teachers:
• Are on the Dance Teacher Directory map (or consider joining)
• Provide their teaching experience and qualifications
• Have a DBS check (or equivalent)
This helps ensure that opportunities are shared with trusted, experienced teachers.

👉 Step 3: Start seeing opportunities and connecting with other teachers
