dance teacher

Teaches steps professionally

A dance teacher instructs students in dance techniques, styles, and performance.

The term covers professionals teaching ballet, ballroom, hip-hop, or any other form—whether in studios, schools, or private lessons.

My dance teacher made us practice the routine until our feet ached.

Unlike choreographer, which emphasizes creating dances, dance teacher emphasizes transmitting skills to others.
