Children's Dance & Movement Instructor – Independent Contractor

Mon–Thu | School Hours | Fremantle, Myaree and Surrounds

Imagine spending your school days singing, dancing, telling stories, performing magic and inspiring young children through movement and imagination.

Happy Feet Fitness is looking for a mature, energetic and business-minded person to join our Perth South team as an independent contractor, delivering our play-based movement program to babies, toddlers and preschoolers in early childhood centres.

You'll help children build confidence, coordination and a lifelong love of movement while building a rewarding business around school hours.

This is an independent contractor opportunity, not an employee position. You'll be responsible for growing your own timetable and business, with training, mentoring and support from an experienced local manager and the wider Happy Feet team.

What You'll Be Doing

Every day is different! You'll visit early childhood centres during school hours to deliver fun, high-energy 30-minute classes featuring:

- Music, movement and dance
- Magic, puppets and exciting props
- Imaginative storytelling and adventures
- Games, fitness and fundamental movement skills
- Play-based learning that supports children's development

One class might involve exploring outer space, while the next takes children on a dinosaur adventure or an under-the-sea expedition. If you enjoy performing, using your imagination and making young children laugh and feel confident, you'll love what we do.

The Business Opportunity The opportunity would initially involve:

- Taking over 2 existing weekly classes in Myaree on Tuesday mornings
- Taking over 3 existing classes in Beaconsfield on Wednesday mornings
- Starting a new class in Spearwood that is currently waiting for an Instructor
- Providing Cover Instructor support to other Perth South Instructors on other days whilst building your schedule
- Working with your Manager to progressively grow your own weekly schedule,



with a goal of building towards 15+ classes per week over the next 12–18 months

Availability To take over the existing classes and make the most of the current opportunities, you'll need to be available Monday to Thursday. All classes are delivered during school hours, with no evenings or weekends required.

Income

As an independent contractor, you'll operate your own Happy Feet Fitness business under licence.

- Earn approximately $50–$200 per 30-minute class after licensing fees
- Grow your income as your regular timetable grows
- Start with existing classes while developing additional opportunities
- Receive comprehensive training, mentoring and ongoing support

As with any self-employed business, your income will depend on the number of classes you establish and deliver. This Opportunity Could Be Perfect If You...

- Have a current Working With Children Check (essential)
- Genuinely enjoy working with babies, toddlers and preschool-aged children
- Have an energetic, confident and engaging personality
- Enjoy performing, teaching or presenting to groups
- Love meeting people and building strong skilled relationships
- Are mature, reliable, organised and self-motivated
- Are comfortable taking responsibility for your own business
- Have a proactive, business-minded approach and enjoy creating opportunities
- Are looking for a long-term opportunity to build something of your own

Previous experience in dance, fitness, education, childcare, performing arts, music or children's entertainment is welcome. We're particularly interested in your personality,



reliability and ability to connect with young children and centre teams. Why Happy Feet?

For almost 20 years, Happy Feet Fitness has been bringing movement, music and smiles to children across Australia.

When you join Happy Feet, you're in business for yourself, but never by yourself.

You'll receive

- Comprehensive Happy Feet Fitness training
- Proven class programs and resources
- Ongoing mentoring and support
- Support from an experienced local Perth South Manager
- Help identifying opportunities and developing centre relationships
- The flexibility of building your business around school hours
- The prospect to make a genuine difference to young children's confidence, development and enjoyment of movement
