As it happens most Teddy Dance Franchisees are qualified cricket coaches but we also have some successful franchise operations that are run by entrepreneurs who previously had no cricket coaching qualifications.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Do I need to have access to cricket court(s) to run a Teddy Dance Franchise?&#8221;]No you do not. Teddy Dance can be taught anywhere, inside or outside. The most important requirement is that the surface of the playing space is suitable for the balls to bounce evenly.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;There are lots of children\u2019s franchise programs on the market, what are the Unique Selling Points (USP\u2019s) of Teddy Dance?&#8221;]<strong>Teddy Dance has many USPs but the top four are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Teddy Dance Music:<\/span> There are currently over 40 Teddy Dance songs in the Teddy Dance music catalogue; each song has been specifically written for a particular Teddy Dance Activity and provides the right rhythm and timing for doing the activity; the words of the song tell the children what to do. No other children\u2019s franchise programs has developed such a focused or extensive range of music to accompany their programs.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Teddy Dance Pictures:<\/span> every Teddy Dance Activity, of which there are currently over 50, is taught using pictures of teddy bears playing Teddy Dance; this simple, interactive approach to teaching young children works brilliantly.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The Teddy Dance Coaches Manual:<\/span> its unique, its comprehensive, it\u2019s educational, it\u2019s engaging, there is noting like it on the market and best of all young children love it. There is also an on &#8211; line version of the Teddy Dance Coaches Manual (the Teddy Dance Tablet) coming out late 2014\/early 2015.<\/li>\n<li>Teddy Dance\u2019 teaching system follows a curriculum and has been developed using the Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) accelerated learning style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long has Teddy Dance been operating?&#8221;]The company was set up in 2002 when Richard Bean, one of the co-founders came up with the idea of using music to inspire children to learn to play cricket. Over the next few years the concept developed to include using pictures too and a further three years were spent developing the Teddy Dance Coaches Manual and writing and recording the first Teddy Dance set of songs. In 2010 the very first Teddy Dance Coaches Manual was published and in 2011 the very first Teddy Dance Franchise was sold. Today there are over 50 Teddy Dance Franchises operating worldwide.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Why should I open a Teddy Dance franchise instead of trying it on my own?&#8221;]Teddy Dance is proven and works, brilliantly. To set up something remotely similar of your own is doable but it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, take several years to complete and by then Teddy Dance will have been further developed to make it even better still.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What makes a successful Teddy Dance Franchisee?&#8221;]<strong>There are four characteristics that make a Teddy Dance Franchisee successful:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Integrity: i .e. commit to doing what you say you will do!<\/li>\n<li>Drive: i.e. to make your Teddy Dance Franchise happen, it won\u2019t do it on its own!<\/li>\n<li>Time: i.e. time to devote to selling, marketing, managing and delivering Teddy Dance in your territory or at your club.<\/li>\n<li>Passion: a passion for working with young children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What are the costs for setting up a Teddy Dance Franchise?&#8221;]<strong>There are four costs that you will need to cover in order to set up a Teddy Dance Franchise or License<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Franchise fees vary based on the size of your franchise territory or if you decide just to license one location.<\/li>\n<li>There is a onetime training fee.

To achieve anything close to this you will need to recruit a team of coaches to help you deliver the Teddy Dance lessons. You can of course expand you business by opting to purchase more Teddy Dance territories.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What support does Teddy Dance provide to its Franchises?&#8221;]We provide an extensive level of support to help your franchise as our success is based upon you being successful.<br \/>\n<strong>We provide 5 types of support:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Music, pictures, story book and products.<\/li>\n<li>Training and coaches manual.<\/li>\n<li>Business Development: we require all franchisees to have monthly conference calls with Teddy Dance to discuss the development and expansion of their business and offer mentoring and advice as and when it is needed.<\/li>\n<li>Marketing: good marketing is critical for the success of your franchise.

There are two methods to be trained to become a Teddy Dance Coach:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Attend a Teddy Dance Training Course: Teddy Dance training courses are periodically held at designated centers in different geographic locations.<\/li>\n<li>Have Teddy Dance Trainers Deliver training at Your Location: If you have several coaches to be trained, it may be more economical to arrange to have Teddy Dance Trainers deliver Teddy Dance training at your location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What plans do you have to further develop Teddy Dance?&#8221;]It is our intention to keep Teddy Dance fresh, vibrant and new, hence we are continually writing new songs, creating new activities drawing new pictures and revising and developing new lesson plans: so you can expect to see a continual on &#8211; going evolution of Teddy Dance.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How soon can I get a Teddy Dance franchise up and running once I have signed the franchise agreement ?&#8221;]This can happen very quickly a fter you have signed the Franchise Agreement.
