Licensee
"I chose to license the Dancercise Kids® curriculum for my dance studio because I wanted to create a solid program for my new students, ages 2–5. The curriculum allowed me to have a class that held the attention of a 2 year old and was engaging enough to teach their 5 year old sibling. My parents loved the academic and age appropriate curriculum that taught their child life lessons and sign language too. My Dancercise Kids® classes quickly became my most profitable program and great feeder classes for my older program."
Instructor
"I love that there's a set framework for me to work within that's easy to access whenever I need it. I find the music so catchy that it plays in my head all the time — which is nice for the kids for remembering our dances too! Plus each song has a sort of lesson to it so the kids are singing about useful fun things!"
Instructor
"Having the lesson plans done helps me prepare and get to know the students. I have time to learn about the kids instead of putting time into lesson planning. I love how multiple singing voices are used in the music. Even I have learned new information from the songs."
Instructor
"I have worked with the Dancercise® program for the past 5 years. I love how the songs not only teach dance steps, but life lessons surrounding kindness and responsibility. Tessa, the director, has been wonderful to work for as she truly values her teachers!"

"Having the complete three year curriculum available to you online gives my teachers and I the ability to be prepared on our own time schedule. The videos are easy to follow and a perfect snapshot of each song, allowing my teachers to explore how they would like to make the curriculum come to life."
Business Builder
"You have as much work life balance as you choose. For us, we've been able to grow our family at the same time as growing our business without feeling like we're sacrificing either one. I make more money running my own business less than 40 hours a week than many people make working for someone else more than 40 hours a week, and I have a ton of fun dancing with kids every time I'm leading classes."
