10-step blueprint to GROW your dream DANCE BUSINESS as the next-level LEADER you were born to be

Are you a current dance business owner feeling STUCK, wanting to GROW YOUR BUSINESS and your

team, but feeling like you just can’t make any progress no matter how hard you work?

Do you often find yourself struggling with leading a team?

Or perhaps you’re feeling FRAZZLED, BURNT OUT and OVERWHELMED

dealing with everything that comes with being the

leader of your dance business?

Perhaps you’re an aspiring DANCE BUSINESS owner battling with negative self-beliefs

around your own ability to even BE a leader, and questioning

whether you were even meant to do this at all?

I’m Chris Duncan, a professional in the Australian dance industry with over 35 years’

experience - building and scaling multiple six and seven figure businesses across the

DANCE and PERFORMING ARTS INDUSTRY. Enterprises ranging from dance studios to

an agency, event and show production, a leading national dance competition, Australia’s

largest online dance media portal and most recently, publishing my best-selling book -

DANCEBOSS.

Most importantly - I have been where you are.

When I first started out on my business journey, I knew that I had good ideas and a strong sense of purpose. While I lacked self-confidence, more importantly, I lacked the skills and behaviours required to effectively lead. Because of this, I struggled for a long time to lead others as effectively as I could have. I didn’t believe that I was worthy of having people treat me well and I struggled with trusting others. This caused a difficult dynamic which massively affected my ability to grow my business.

I spent years learning a wealth of skills and secrets from trusted mentors, business experts and industry connections on how to be an effective leader in my dance business. It wasn’t until I started putting these skills into practice that my DANCE BUSINESS SKYROCKETED.

Looking back, I am SO grateful to all my mentors and my trusted inner circle for equipping me with this valuable and life-changing knowledge. I couldn’t help but think how much EASIER it would be for current and aspiring dance business owners to have a done-for-you road map showing the exact steps they need to take to become the DANCEBIZ LEADERS they were born to be.

So – I CREATED ONE!

And now, I’m sharing it with you.

In this 10 step course – ‘LEADING THE WAY’ – I have packaged up the 35 years’ knowledge, experience and insights I have gained on one of the most important characteristics you must develop and MASTER as the BUSINESS OWNER of your DANCE-BIZ – LEADERSHIP.

And I’m delivering it you in 10 super actionable video lessons you can start implementing TODAY

to kickstart your journey to becoming the dance business leader you were born to be.

Avoid wasted time, energy, money and passion and

FAST-TRACK your business to SUCCESS.

In this power-packed 10 step online course, I’ll take you through every step you need to become

the Dance Business leader of your dreams including:

The qualities and skills you NEED to become a strong and effective leader of your dance business

How to identify, hire and retain SENSATIONAL talent to build your dream team

How to confidently create and nurture the organisational culture of your DREAMS

Many in the dance industry enter the business world ‘accidentally’ because they want to find

a way to monetise doing what they love. At first it doesn’t even seem like work. Inevitably

though, the fun-factor can fade – especially when things get tough!

I know the highs and lows of doing business in dance after a career spanning 35 years. As a

teacher, choreographer, and studio owner, then as an agent, publisher, event manager and

producer, I’ve dedicated myself to providing as many opportunities as possible for the next

generation of dancers to learn, grow and become incredible future professionals.

Now, in my 10-step, easy-to-master online course LEADING THE WAY, I’m expanding

my mentoring role to help YOU and other passionate DANCEPRENEURS create the

DANCE BUSINESS of your DREAMS.
