Dance Training Organisation

Hi I’m Kerrie,

I fell in love with dance at four years old—and I never really stopped. By 18, I’d opened my first studio and spent the next three decades living every part of studio life: the wins, the challenges, the late nights, and the breakthroughs.

Those experiences taught me that running a studio isn’t just about teaching great classes—it’s about building strong systems, leading a team, and creating a business that supports your life (not the other way around).

For over 33 years, I’ve navigated the thrilling ups and downs of studio ownership—from the standing ovations to the behind-the-scenes hustle. Those lessons shaped not only how I ran my own studio but also how I now help others succeed.

That’s why I founded Dance Training Organisation and the Studio BUSINESS Academy: to help studio owners like you reclaim your time, fill your classes, and run a studio that thrives—without burning you out.

Why Work With Me?

Most coaches can share advice. I deliver results backed by accreditation and experience.

Nationally Recognised Training: As the founder of Dance Training Organisation, I’ve spent over 15 years delivering government-accredited dance education (VCE VET Dance, leadership programs).

33+ Years in the Industry: From running my own studios to coaching hundreds of owners across Australia, I’ve lived every challenge you’re facing now.

Proven Framework: My S.T.A.R.T. Method (Systems, Team, Attraction, Retention, Trust) gives you a clear, step-by-step pathway — so you’re never left “guessing” what to do next.

My Difference

Unlike many business coaches who work across industries, I focus exclusively on dance studios. I combine accredited education with real-world strategy so you can:

  • Grow enrolments without chasing “quick fixes.”

  • Build new income streams (VET programs, leadership training, events).

  • Reduce your teaching load and step into your CEO role.

  • Create balance — more time for your family, less time putting out fires.

Results Studio Owners See

“We doubled enrolments in under 12 months.”

“I went from teaching 25 classes a week to focusing on my leadership role.”

“We added an accredited leadership program and created a whole new revenue stream.”

“For the first time in years, I feel like I’m running my business — not the other way around.”

Recognition & Leadership
  • Founder of Studio Business Academy — helping hundreds of studio owners scale sustainably.
  • National speaker, sharing stages with leaders like Sarah Cordiner on business & tech growth.

It’s time to stop surviving and start scaling.
