The Early Childhood Dance Program

Dance studio owners can do it all, but you don't have to do it alone.

As a dance studio owner, you have a vision for what you want your studio to be, and you know that a strong preschool dance program will help you grow a profitable studio business.

📈 Your studio has grown.

🕺🏽 You've hired teachers.

🤳 The enquiries are coming in.

And then all of a sudden you're faced with a new problem...

 

Getting bigger is great... but you soon realise that you can't do it all yourself.

You can't teach every single class.

You can't be everywhere at once.

You can't clone yourself.

So, as your studio expands, how do you make sure that the teachers at your studio are as exceptional as you are, that your values are being upheld in every single class, that your standards are being maintained?

 
 
 

Leap 'N Learn studios all have one thing in common - they consistently deliver exceptional educational experiences that keep kids coming back year after year.

How do they do it?

They're backed by a curriculum that trains their teachers to deliver consistent, high quality dance classes - classes that teachers love to teach, and students and parents adore.

 
“Leap ‘N Learn is the perfect early childhood training program. The way it intentionally fosters progress in every developmental domain using pretend play and ballet skill appropriate for each age group is fantastic. I love having every early childhood classroom in the studio doing the same thing each week. It ensures the kids are all learning the same thing, makeup classes are seamless, and it makes parent education easy too. I’ve used Leap ‘N Learn since 2011 and have never looked back.”
— Tiina Hazelett, Pure Dance Works, Indiana, USA

What's the number one thing dance studio owner's forget?

 

...Teaching dance is your business

You’ve no doubt invested time, effort and money into developing and refining your dance studio business.

But all the marketing, planning, and systemizing in the world isn’t going to help if you don’t have exceptional teaching in each and every class across your whole studio.

That's where we come in.

At Leap 'N Learn, we've done all the heavy lifting so that you don't have to.

Licensed Studios can upgrade their membership with an add-on Hip Hop Building Blocks package, which is packed with age-appropriate exercises to develop foundation hip hop skills.
