Do you dream of opening your own Dance School? We would love to hear from you! Dance Shack is expanding across the country and can help make your dream a reality. We are looking for enthusiastic, highly motivated individuals to join us.
Support That Sets You Up to Succeed
From your first steps through to long-term growth, you’re supported with practical training, proven systems, and ongoing guidance across every aspect of running your school. From marketing and administration to compliance and day-to-day operations, Dance Shack provides the tools, knowledge, and reassurance you need to build a confident, professional, and sustainable business.
A School You Can Build Your Way
The Dance Shack model is flexible by design, allowing you to grow a school that reflects your strengths, ambitions, and availability. You might be a hands-on teacher leading classes yourself, or a motivated leader building a team around you. Whether you begin part-time or aim to create a full-time business, the structure is there to support steady, sustainable growth in your local community.
Real Industry Roots. Life-Changing Impact.
Dance Shack was founded by professionals from the theatre and performing arts world who believe deeply in the power of performance to build confidence, creativity, and lifelong memories for young people. Every school is shaped by this real-world experience and an inclusive ethos that celebrates progress, participation, and high standards in equal measure—creating an environment where students can truly thrive.
Turn-Key Choreography & Creative Support
Creating fresh, engaging choreography can be one of the most demanding parts of running a dance school. Dance Shack removes that pressure through regular expert-led choreography sessions and shared creative resources, giving you performance-ready routines to use throughout the year. This means you can focus on inspiring your students, delivering exceptional classes, and growing your school with confidence—knowing high-quality creative material is always within reach.
THE OPTIONS
Two Ways To Join
We believe the most successful Dance Shack schools are led by inspiring, talented people, not simply those with the greatest financial resources at the start.
That’s why we offer two clear pathways into the Dance Shack franchise, allowing you to choose the route that best fits your circumstances, confidence, and ambitions for the future. Please note that all prices and fees are subject to VAT.
INVESTOR
This route is designed for individuals who are ready to invest upfront and establish their Dance Shack school with the lowest ongoing percentage from day one. By making an initial investment, you gain immediate access to the full Dance Shack franchise model, comprehensive launch support, and long-term fee efficiency as your school grows.

PARTNER
Created for inspiring teachers and leaders who may not have significant capital at the outset, the Partner option removes the upfront franchise fee while providing the full guidance and support needed to launch with confidence. A higher management percentage applies during the first 24 months as your school becomes established, after which you move onto the standard ongoing rate. This approach allows exceptional people to grow into successful school owners through performance and commitment.
