Starting Your Dance Business

Anne Walker MBE started her first dancing school aged only 17. She grew it to several hundred students, then started another school when she relocated. Seeing a gap in the market, she began making dancewear which she sold to her students, but also friends who were dance teachers. That business eventually became International dance Supplies - a global multi-million-pound business. Anne now mentors and coaches dance school owners.
