The Studio BUSINESS Academy helps dance studio owners escape burnout and build a business that runs without them — so they can do more of what they love, with the people they love. It’s more than training — it’s dance studio business coaching designed for real results.

Most studio owners are incredible teachers… but exhausted business owners.
If you’re constantly putting out fires, filling in for teachers, chasing late payments, or wondering where your next enrolment is coming from — you’re not alone.
The Studio BUSINESS Academy is your pathway out of the chaos. We give you the roadmap, dance studio business coaching, and support to build a thriving business that works for you — not because of you.
You’ll get expert mentoring, proven systems, and a like-minded community that helps you grow your enrolments, reclaim your time, and fall back in love with your business.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed running a studio. So we’ve created a clear, supportive path to help you make progress without burning out.
Inside the Studio BUSINESS Academy, everything is organised into five key focus areas — part of our S.T.A.R.T. Method — so you always know what to work on next.
You’ll get access to resources, templates, training, and support for each stage, so you can build a studio that thrives (without it all falling on you).
Wherever you’re starting from, the S.T.A.R.T. Method gives you the steps, tools, and support to build a studio you love — one that’s thriving, structured, and truly yours.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
You’ll hear this in the video — but here’s the heart of what makes us different:
We’re not just business coaches. We’re studio owners who’ve lived the exhaustion, the pressure, the “How do I do all of this?” panic.
That’s why our version of dance studio business coaching feels different — it’s practical, supportive, and 100% built for real-life studio challenges — not fluffy theory.
In just a few minutes, I’ll show you how we help you go from surviving to leading with clarity, confidence, and calm.
When you join Studio BUSINESS Academy, you’re not just getting videos and templates.
You’re getting your evenings back. Your weekends back. Your peace of mind back.
You’re getting the confidence to finally say, “I’ve got this.”
To make sure you’re always supported, inspired, and up to date with the latest strategies, you also receive:
✔ Clarity, Not Chaos
→ You’ll access a simple online hub with step-by-step tools, so everything you need to grow your studio is just a click away — 24/7.
✔ Guidance, Not Guesswork
→ Each month, join live coaching calls and masterclasses where you’ll get tailored dance studio business coaching with answers and strategies for exactly where you are right now.
✔ Support, Not Solo
→ Tap into our private members-only community for daily encouragement, feedback, and connection with other studio owners who get it.
✔ Momentum, Not Maybes
→ You’ll never be stuck waiting for the “next big thing.” We’re constantly adding fresh templates, tools, and training — so you always have what works now.
While the tools, coaching, and training in SBA are worth over $39,000, our goal is simple — to make world-class support accessible. Scroll down for full pricing.
You walk into your studio and pause for a moment — it’s buzzing with energy. Every class is full. Your team is confidently leading without you. For the first time in a long time, you’re not needed in every room, every minute, every decision.
You check your calendar — no urgent fires, no 12-hour days. You’ve got time to plan, create, teach (if you want to), or head out early for that dinner you used to cancel.
Enrolments? Solid. Your dream students keep showing up — and sticking around. Your marketing is running, your systems are humming, and the stress that once felt constant is… gone.
This is what happens when you stop doing it all and start leading like the CEO of your studio.
And you didn’t get there alone.
You had the roadmap, the support, and the strategy that changed everything.
Studio BUSINESS Academy is where the transformation starts — but for those ready to truly stand out as leaders in the industry, there’s another step forward…

Dance Training Organisation
I’m Kerrie Power — and after 30 years running my own successful dance studios, I know what it feels like to pour your heart into your business… and still feel like you’re barely holding it all together.
I created the Studio BUSINESS Academy because I didn’t want other studio owners to go through the same burnout, confusion, and self-doubt I did.
This program is the roadmap I wish someone had handed me — full of the systems, support, and real-world strategies I had to learn the hard way. And now, I use everything I’ve learned to help passionate studio owners like you feel in control, confident, and deeply proud of the business they’ve built.
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way,” — this is it.
And I’d love to walk it with you.
Imagine a business where the classes are full, your team runs smoothly, and you actually finish the day with energy (and maybe even a glass of wine on the couch).
That’s not a fantasy — it’s the result of building your studio with intention, support, and the systems that make it sustainable.
You’ve already built something special. Now it’s time to build something that gives back to you.
The Studio BUSINESS Academy isn’t just how you grow a business — it’s how you get your time, joy, and freedom back, too.
This isn’t just about growing enrolments or fixing admin.
It’s about building a business that gives you the freedom to live life on your terms — now and in the future.
Whether your dream is to own your premises, take more time off, step into a leadership role, or even sell one day — we’ll help you build a studio that’s not just successful… but sustainable.
Inside the Studio BUSINESS Academy, you’ll learn how to:
✔ Free yourself from the daily grind with systems that do the work for you
✔ Prepare your studio to run without you — whether you step back, scale up, or pass it on
✔ Build a business that’s profitable, protected, and doesn’t rely on you 24/7
✔ Say yes to your next chapter — with confidence, clarity, and cash flow
You built this studio out of love.
Now it’s time to build it in a way that loves you back.
We’ll show you how.
You’ve poured your heart into this place — the music, the students, the late nights cleaning mirrors and answering messages between rehearsals.
You are the studio — the one juggling staff, calming parents, keeping everything afloat… all while trying to remember what sleep feels like.
You’ve got big dreams — you want your studio to grow, thrive, and finally give back the time, income, and balance you deserve.
But instead, you’re stuck in the grind. The to-do list never ends. The pressure to please everyone is relentless. And somehow, you’re still not paying yourself what you’re worth.
It’s exhausting. And isolating.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
This is where everything changes.
Inside the Studio Business Academy, you’ll finally get the support, structure, and strategies to shift from “running yourself ragged” to “running a real business.”
One that works with you — not because of you.
You’ve already built something beautiful.
Now let’s build something sustainable.
“This isn’t a side hustle or a shiny course. This is the business mentorship trusted by top-performing studios around Australia. Whether you’re just getting started or scaling your impact, you deserve real support from someone who’s walked the same path — and helped others win.”
Joining the Studio BUSINESS Academy isn’t just another step — it’s a game-changer for you, your team, and your studio’s future.
You’re stepping into a community of studio owners who are serious about growth, leadership, and building studios that thrive without the burnout.
SBA blends practical business training with the realities of running a dance studio. It’s designed by studio owners, for studio owners — helping you systemise, grow and lead with confidence.

SBA is perfect for dance studio owners, managers and senior teachers ready to strengthen their systems, marketing and team culture.
