• Hip hop dance ability
• Managing busy groups of children
• Clear communication with school staff
• Reliable and organised

• Public liability insurance, which schools usually require
• Check each school's rules for external providers and any approved supplier lists
• Check music licensing requirements for your sessions
• Income depends on school terms, so expect gaps in the holidays
