UK Franchise Offers Free-spirited Music and Dance Classes for Children
Pop into a music class for young children and the chances are you’ll find them sitting in a circle singing songs. When Helen Harrington’s son was young and boisterous, this was less than ideal. “Don’t get me wrong – these types of classes are fantastic, but my little boy needed something less rigid and more free-spirited, where he could do things like run around with his arms spread out. I thought there must be other children like that too.”
Like any good entrepreneur, Harrington spotted the gap in the market and decided to try and fill it. Four years on, MAD Academy has become a roaring success as a franchised business of music and dance classes for children aged three months to five years. It has more than doubled its turnover year on year so that it currently stands at £130,000 and has 10 franchises operating more than 130 classes across the UK.
