Teach Ballet and Make Money

Water color copyright by FrancesMary at http://www.freewebs.com/francesmary/.

If you took ballet through the years you can now turn that knowledge into teaching dancing and make money. You will need to set up a studio. If you have a large spare room or basement you can use that as your studio. Or you may purchase a building or rent out an office space in business building. You will need to set up bars for the ballet students to hang onto. Mirrors that cover two entire walls will help your dance studio as well. The students can watch themselves and you will be able to see them at different angles as well. A CD player will be needed to play music with the ballet dancing.

Before you open up your ballet studio to teach ballet and make money, make sure you brush up on your ballet skills. Review the dance poses including the five steps used in ballet. Maybe you want to offer ballet for children ages four through eight. Or if you really know your ballet skills you can teach all of the way up to the adult ages.

Think of a clever ballet studio name or use your last name if you so choose.

Once you feel confident in teaching ballet to make money, start to advertise your business. You can put adds in the newspapers surrounding the area you live in, ads at local businesses and create a website for your dance studio.

On your brochures put the hours you are open as well as your studios’ phone number.

Once you get students you may want to offer contests of different sorts, get ready for a dance recital so parents can watch their children, hold Friday night dance parties for the teens in your town or city you live in (if your area is large enough to accommodate quite a few people). You could charge a small fee for the Friday night dance parties and offer $1.00 sodas and water. Possibly hand out free pretzels. Just remember not to offer too much food unless you want to clean up a huge mess and need a license to be able to serve food.

There are many possibilities for you to make money when you open your own ballet studio. For more information on how to teach ballet and make money, please visit http://www.preparednessmentor.com/.
