Instructors Wanted

The DisabiliTease Academy is an online dance, burlesque, aerial, and movement arts school focused on performers with disabilities. Our mission is to provide an accessible experience for both instructors and students who may otherwise encounter barriers in traditional schools. We will offer both live-stream and recorded classes.

We are looking for instructors that fit our mission and values. Our goal is to include a wide range of instructors and teachers whenever possible. This includes people of all genders, ages, sizes, abilities, backgrounds, races, beliefs, and sexual orientations.

What we offer

  • Live-stream courses – Teach live! Get real-time student instruction, feedback and Q&A.

  • Pre-recorded classes – Pre-record your classes for students to watch any time!

  • Recorded live-stream classes – We can record your live-stream classes and make them available for students to rent and watch at a later date. This gives you the benefit of teaching live, while also allowing students to watch on their own time.

  • Accessible – We work with your accessibility needs. All classes (both live-stream and pre-recorded) will have captioning. Let us know if you have any other accessibility needs.

  • Resource guides – Ability to provide notes, slides, and other resources for your students. They can be part of the class, available to purchase separately, or available in our free resources section.

Our pay for live classes is a $75 flat fee per one hour class, $100 per 90 minute class and $125 per 120 minute class. For live stream classes, we require a five student minimum unless otherwise specified or agreed upon. If this minimum is not met, the class will be cancelled or rescheduled.

    • $20 for a 60 minute class
    • $25 for a 90 minute class
    • $30 for a 120 minute class

Recorded Classes:

For pre-recorded classes, or recordings of live-stream classes that lend themselves well to being watched after-the-fact for students who cannot attend live, our pay scale for instructors is 50% of the total class revenue.

  • For pre-recorded classes, or recordings from live-stream classes, our student ticket prices are as follows:
    • $15 to rent or $20 to purchase for 60 minutes  
    • $20 to rent or $25 to purchase for 90 minutes

Recorded class note: Recorded live-stream videos will be edited, in part to remove any student introductions or other personal information. 

Notes

  • We offer a few equity tickets for each class for disabled BIPOC students that cannot afford them. These tickets do not affect your pay or compensation.
  • If you have a set teaching fee that does not fall within these guidelines, please let us know so that we can work with you to be compensated fairly.
  • In the case of a series of classes, teacher pay and the student ticket price may be discussed and adjusted to better fit the length of time and frequency. This will be discussed before finalizing the contract.
