There are good dance studios and bad ones, just as there are good businesses in any industry and bad ones poorly run, too.<\/p>\n<p>If you became disenchanted with the process or the training or the lack of training, if you felt abused or unappreciated or just left to your own devices rather than guided as part of a team, come talk to me.<\/p>\n<p>The New Fred Astaire Dance Studio is a different kind of franchise. What\u2019s more, we are unveiling new systems to improve the already smart programs we have in place, focusing on the dancer and his or her long-term career.<\/p>\n<p>See that\u2019s the thing I love about this company: you can build a great career as a ballroom dance instructor. That doesn\u2019t happen everywhere, and it doesn\u2019t happen often. We\u2019ve created a system where our instructors are nurtured and encouraged to be a true part of a team.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/bloomfield-hills\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/08\/iStock-656929652-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5242\" \/>When your superiors appreciate your effort, you put more in. When your students love working with you, you can\u2019t wait to work with them again.<\/p>\n<p>If you started somewhere as a franchise dance instructor and left for whatever reason, we want you here!! There is another way, a better way, and we can certainly use your skills, training and talent in a way you\u2019ll feel great about.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was the wrong program for you, or the wrong time or wrong place. Maybe you worked at the wrong facility. Come to the right one. Fred Astaire Michigan. We\u2019ll make sure you have a clear vision for your future, and we\u2019ll help you get there.<\/p>\n<p>Fred Astaire focuses on cultivating instructors, helping them grow, offering opportunities to build a fulfilling career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you teach ballroom dancing for a franchise?
