June 01, 2009 - Creation Dance has today announced a milestone in its growth ambitions through its first ever franchise deal in Scotland.
The dance school, which specialises in adult beginners dance classes and parties in the UK and known for its fun and friendly approach to dance, is to start running adult beginners Urban Groovz classes from September 2009 in Edinburgh, making this the first Creation branch in Scotland.
The Edinburgh franchise is run by Darryl Geegan, a keen dance enthusiast and experienced hip hop dancer, who will work alongside Vince Shek teaching adults of all backgrounds how to dance for fitness and fun. The team are set to make a big impact by offering classes which will cover the City of Edinburgh, including dance hen parties, hip hop dance classes, workshops and more.
The first street dance class for adults will start in September in one of their Edinburgh venues. All of Creation’s dance classes are held in first class studios, with full length mirrors, suitable floors and plenty of space to see the teacher. Low class size and personal service are two things that differentiate the dance classes from others, as well as the opportunity to learn to dance with other like minded people.
Creation Dance Managing Director, Elle Kealy, says:
'This move into franchising in Scotland builds on our recent expansion in England and also in Hong Kong as well as the launch of our teacher training programme - all designed to provide access to dance for all learners and increase awareness of our brand.
‘Even in these tough times, our classes have been a ray of light for people who perhaps can’t afford a regular gym membership but still want to keep fit and active in an interesting way and our expansion is very exciting for us.’
Head of Teacher Training and Co Director, Ainhoa Rey, adds: 'This is an exciting opportunity for the company to partner with a fantastic dancer. We are delighted that Darryl has chosen Creation Dance for the launch of his dance business and look forward to the classes starting in September. We hope that other franchisees will also reap the benefits of our especially designed syllabi, in both hip hop dance, and disco jazz, so that people in all local areas can gain access to some of the most fun exercise programmes around.’
Edinburgh is a vibrant, lively city with a large population of young adults looking for fun ways to exercise. Creation Dance are delighted to welcome the city to its list of venues in the UK.
