This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, independent hip hop dance studio operating in the Victoria territory.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION & VALUE PROPOSITION
It is rare to acquire an established, independent studio showing a remarkable 72% revenue growth over a three-year span entirely through organic word-of-mouth. The business benefits from highly secure, predictable cash flow with approximately 250 students on a monthly recurring subscription billing platform. Serving a diversified student demographic from toddlers (6 months old) through to adults across various skill levels, the studio averages an exceptional student retention rate of five to seven years.
Operations are fully turn-key. Class registration, scheduling, student databases, and recurring payments are optimized using an integrated industry-standard software management system.
The culture and caliber of the staff are central to this business’s long-standing success. The operational team includes 10 part-time instructors, a full-time studio manager handling administrative duties, and internationally recognized competitive division leaders who have historically placed first in the world. Because the staff is deeply invested in the studio’s culture and intends to stay on with the new owner, a buyer does not require a background in dance instruction to run this business successfully.
