TEACH ON YOUR TERMS
Your experience. your availability. your choice.
BackUP connects experienced dance educators with studios looking for qualified coverage. Choose when you're available, receive opportunities that match your experience, and accept the assignments that work for you.
BackUp is currently recruiting qualified dance educators for substitute opportunities in Greater Lowell and surrounding communities.
No minimum hours. No required schedule. No fee to join.
Teach When it Works for you
SET YOUR AVAILABILITY
Tell BackUp when you're available to teach and update it whenever your schedule changes.
SET YOUR RATE
Tell us your minimum hourly teaching rate. Studios submit the rate they are offering, and you decide whether the opportunity works for you. Teachers are paid directly by the studio, and BackUp never deducts a fee from teacher compensation.
EARN EXTRA INCOME DOING WHAT YOU LOVE
Pick up additional teaching opportunities without committing to another regular weekly schedule.
GET MATCHED WITH THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES
Receive opportunities that match your location, availability, teaching experience, and dance styles.
YOU DECIDE
Accept the assignments that work for you. Pass on the ones that don't.
Your experience has value
BackUP is building a network of experienced dance educators with a wide range of backgrounds.
Whether you teach every week, have years of teaching experience but stepped away, perform professionally, previously owned a studio, or have built a career outside of dance while continuing to teach—your experience has value.
If you have the knowledge, professionalism, and confidence to step into a studio and teach, we want to hear from you.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE IN:
BALLET • TAP • JAZZ • CONTEMPORARY • LYRICAL • HIP HOP • ACRO • MUSICAL THEATER • PRESCHOOL DANCE • AND MORE
You don't have to teach every style to be a great fit for BackUP.
Opportunity Comes to you
Set your availability with BackUP. When a studio needs coverage that matches your schedule, location, and experience, you'll receive a text with the assignment details.
You are always in control of when you teach.
