I look hard, far and wide, and we are always in the market to hire more teachers. And yet, no local residents apply. What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n<p>This is a great opportunity for a talented, fit individual. We want to be able to grow as a business, to open new studios, to bring on new talent and serve our enthusiastic students.<\/p>\n<p>We pay our teachers really well \u2013 five of our eight instructors last year made more than $50,000, which is a great salary for a full-time dance instructor. The average dance teacher in the United States earns $28,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/bloomfield-hills\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/02\/iStock-615708430.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/bloomfield-hills\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/02\/iStock-615708430-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4819\" \/><\/a>Our dance teachers receive dance training, opportunities to travel, fun, active work every single day. A great team. Benefits (I pay 50% of their health care, unheard of in this industry!).<\/p>\n<p>And they have an opportunity to own their own studios, to grow in this business, not just be a dance teacher for a few years. Working with us, a dance instructor can end up building a satisfying, lifelong career, making really good money and seeing the world.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the deal? Why aren\u2019t more good Americans applying to work here?<\/p>\n<p>If you know someone \u2013 or if you\u2019re interested \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:emountain@fredastaire.com\">email<\/a> me or private message me on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/evan.mountain.33\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>!
