Part Time Hourly Paid Lecturer in Commercial Dance

About the school or department

Here at the University of Gloucestershire, we study the theory of dance through practice.

Our teaching is intensely practical, with real world partnerships, projects and productions. We strive to support our students to get out into the world with the right skills to help them become visible, viable practitioners of dance in its many forms and variations.

We are proud to have created an ethos which both stretches and supports our students, challenging them to be the best possible creative dancers and practitioners they can be, in line with the University’s key pillars of careers, connections and community.

We are now looking for a part time hourly paid lecturer in dance to join our highly creative team: you will be teaching across our BA Dance course, engaging our students with their ever-evolving craft and the arts sector more widely. You will join a team of experts and practitioners of dance and teach on courses which are being constantly refined to bring out the best in our students.

We work flexibly, we are innovative, and we want to emulate best practice.

We need practitioners and academics with expertise in the following areas:

• Commercial Dance Techniques
• Creating performance work in commercial dance styles

The modules you will be responsible for working on include:

Dance Techniques 1 and 2

Advanced Dance Techniques

Dance Performance 2 and 3

We want people to join our team who will bring a contemporary understanding of current practice and who can motivate and enthuse our students to be the best they can be. Your experience as a dance practitioner matters to us and teaching experience is essential. Teaching would begin in January 2025.

The University is committed to building a diverse and inclusive staff community and welcomes applications from currently under-represented sections of our workforce. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader, guaranteeing an interview to everyone who meets the definition of disability set out in the Equality Act 2010 and the essential criteria contained within the person specification.
