London, UK — Have you ever wanted to work in dance, or run your own dance school, – or perhaps you already do and are thinking about providing street dance or disco classes? Then keep reading as a Creation Franchise might be the answer.

Creation began teaching adults to dance in London, UK in 2006 and grew to include lessons in Oxford and Brighton.
Elle Kealy, founder of Creation, says “Creation has taught over 2000 beginners, adults and kids, its own unique brand of street dance or jazz. Urban Groovz™ is a great syllabus for beginners of any age as it’s accessible, suitable for first time dancers and has been developed with safe teaching and high standards in mind. ”

Elle started Creation Dance classes in 2006 when she was frustrated by the lack of local affordable classes for adults in her area. A dancer herself, she knew that traditional dance schools can be intimidating places for adult beginners. With that in mind she set about creating a dance school that was accessible, friendly and provided an excellent adult beginners street dance syllabus. In 2008, long time teacher Ainhoa Rey also joined the business as a co-owner and since then the pair have gone from strength to strength.

“I gave up a career as a lawyer to follow my dream of running my own business.”, says Elle. “It was daunting at first and it took a few years to make the transition from employment to self employment, but I am passionate about dancing and I strongly believe that our company is fulfilling a niche out there for good quality, friendly adult dance classes”.

Creation decided to launch its franchise program at Move It 2009 when they were unable to keep up with the demand for their Urban Groovz™ and Disco Heaven™ lessons. They received over sixty applications since announcing their franchise offering and are holding a Discovery Day in London on April 25th where anyone interested in running either Urban Groovz™ or Disco Heaven™ classes can come along to find out more information.

Elle says “You don’t need to be a dance teacher to get involved in Creation classes. Of course if you are a dancer, then that’s great as you will receive full teacher training and can then go on to teach your own classes, but we are also interested in speaking to mums, dance enthusiasts or people looking for part time, flexible work, who just want to organise classes themselves. Dancers who wish to teach will not only receive business training, but will also complete our full teacher training program. The program covers aspects of dance teaching such as Health and Safety, Anatomy and Physiology for dancers, Exercise Fundamentals, Choreography and teaching techniques, Motivation Techniques and First Aid. Teachers are also given access to our syllabi, so if you are an existing dance school looking to provide street dance classes, this is also an excellent opportunity to add a solid syllabus to your business.”
