“Thank you Creative Dance Method. I was becoming so overwhelmed with planning our class content after giving birth to my second child. I have now been able to take a step back from this element of my business for the first time in 10 years and it feels incredible!"
Sophie, Dance Teacher WA
"My life saver for 2022, it was so great to have a planner made specifically for a dance teacher! I can't wait to get my hands on the 2023 one!"
Tracy, Studio Owner NSW
"I really enjoy the plans and the children are loving them! As a past kinder teacher I have always loved teaching young children but have always felt rushed in my planning while trying to run the business and I was feeling a bit stale. I am loving the new fresh ideas and plans! "
