Dance School Owners and Managers

Unions and Associations

Dance school owners and managers do not belong to unions, but several business organizations, government agencies, and associations provide useful resources to aspiring and current business owners. For example, the Small Business Administration is a government agency offers everything one needs to know—from marketing and sales, to managing business finances and accounting, to overseeing staff—to build and operate a business. It also provides business loans and grants to aspiring entrepreneurs and in-person seminars on a variety of business topics. SCORE offers free mentoring, confidential business counseling, and a variety of workshops and webinars. The National Retail Federation provides information on certification and careers at its Web site, https://nrffoundation.org/retail-career. Since many dance school owners and managers are also dance teachers, the following associations will also be useful: National Dance Education Organization, Dance/USA, SHAPE America, and USA Dance.
