Established dance school of 200+ pupils in exceptional leased premises available in thriving, picturesque, Ludlow (the Shropshire town recently nominated as the best place to live in the country).

Comprises two large studios with sprung floors, barres and mirrors. Baby grand piano and remote control music systems. Reception, shop and café area. Girls and boys changing rooms. Three additional rooms for music, drama etc. Large storage room for costumes. Central location close to schools.

Currently teaching ISTD Ballet, Modern and Tap plus singing. All ages up to intermediate. The standard is very high resulting in excellent exam results.

A high percentage of pupils enthusiastically and successfully participate in festivals throughout the year. This generates a significant part of the business turnover from choreographic fees, private tuition and costume hire.

The shop sells dancewear, confectionary and gifts. Pupils wear a dancewear uniform sold in the shop. Reception and the shop are run very efficiently by a team of ‘mothers’.

Dance is taught by the Principal and one qualified colleague, both of whom are ex professional dancers trained at Bush Davies and Laine Theatre Arts. They are assisted by several student teachers. A music teacher offers piano and flute classes.

The facilities are under utilised at present with capacity for expansion. There is a market for salsa and ballroom classes for adults plus dance workshops during school holidays. There is room for children’s birthday parties and an internet café.

The business owns a website. See www.in-steps.co.uk

The business is run as a Limited Company which holds the lease for the premises and owns all the equipment, fixtures, fittings and stock. The company has no debts and accounts are available for inspection.
