Popdance not only gives you tons of choreography to choose from, but we also have tons of marketing tips, downloads, how-to’s, paid work opportunities, and tools for you to run successful and profitable classes, no matter what type of class they are – so if you are running ballet, tap or modern classes too, all of the Popdance tips and resources can help your school in many aspects – as well as benefiting from our marketing expertise and being part of the team – Popdance gets involved and will publicise your dance school too.

I have other dance teachers within my school – can they teach Popdance too?

Absolutely, yes. Your team are also welcome to run Popdance for you with your permission – enabling you to make additional money without having to deliver everything yourself.

I love to choreograph myself – why would I want to use someone else’s choreography?

At Popdance, all of our partners are part of the Popdance Team.  We have so many skills, ideas and passion amongst us and that’s what makes Popdance a fantastic company to partner with.  You are invited to choreograph for Popdance and get paid for it!

So, if you love to choreograph, why not get involved and get paid too! Plus, you get to see and use tons of choreography from all different choreographers, so there are lots of different influences and ideas to work with. And, you can use your own choreography too.

New choreography is added to the Popdance portfolio regularly – so there’s tons to choose from.

Is it expensive to market and publicise your classes?

With modern technology and tons of tools that are FREE to use on the internet, the world is pretty much our oyster. We’ve invested time and money in technology and building our audiences – so you get to benefit from that ready made, active and engaged audience who are there waiting do dance with you!

Plus we have tons of FREE marketing ideas, tools and downloads in POP (our Popdance Teacher website) that you can use – AND all our partners receive marketing tips straight into their inbox each month.

It’s often hard to set up new dance classes, how realistic is it to set up and have full classes?

At Popdance, we are very realistic. We know that adult classes can often be hard to set up and fill at the start. Children’s classes are much easier. That’s why we recommend that when you first start with Popdance, that you may want to focus on parties and workshops initially. These are incredibly simple to market, with no financial outlay and no pressure to get people into your class. Once the word is out that you offer parties and workshops, then you can simply say yes or no to bookings and it’s an additional income for you. There’s lots of tips and advice on how to get bookings and how to market what you offer – plus you can always chat with us and other Popdance partners in our private members only facebook group to see how others are doing it.

For someone who has a “day job”, how much would it take to get set up?

Again, we would suggest that you start with the parties and workshops initially. In terms of set up, it’s as simple as adding information to a webpage that we give you on the Popdance website. So you could add Popdance Kids parties, Adult parties, hen parties, and workshops in schools, brownies, cubs etc. and the prices you want to charge. Plus you can add information about anything else that you offer.

We will promote the fact that dance is available in your area and there are also tips and advice on how to market from your side, so if you wanted to let local facebook groups know that you offer parties, if you wanted to let schools or brownie groups know etc we have tons of tips and ideas to help you.

Or, you don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to (although the more you do in your local area, the more work you will gain). But even if you did nothing, you will be offered work from us as well as other Popdance partners – plus you can promote any other dance, fitness or yoga services!

Is there a minimum period of working together?

No, you can cancel at anytime.
