MAD Academy

Britain's most loved funky music and dance class franchise, available to pre-school children.

The Music and Dance Academy is devoted to encouraging children to have fun with music and dance! We provide classes for pre-school children which combine high energy music and dance with carefully structured learning. We aim to help children develop confidence, co-ordination and social skills, whilst learning to express themselves creatively and encouraging a life long love of music.

Joining MAD Academy can be a life changing experience!

Some careers are all about the 9 to 5 treadmill – endless meetings, minutes, e-mails and memos. MAD Academy is all about non-stop music, mayhem and mirth – making children smile and adults laugh! But a fun rewarding career is not all that a MAD Academy Franchise can bring you.

Running your own MAD Academy business also offers you:

• A highly motivating career 
• The opportunity to be your own boss 
• Totally flexible hours, with term-time working an option 
• Job satisfaction – see the children’s delight in attending your classes 
• Local working – no more commuting as classes can be run close to home 
• An expandable business – by employing your own team of class instructors

It has already happened for some people – could you be next?

“I really loved the professionalism and ethos of MAD Academy. Everything they did, from the letters and the conversations, to the presentation and training, was so professional and of such a high standard. I could see why MAD Academy had such a strong brand.”
Nikki Carr has been running classes now for nearly 2 years.

 “The biggest benefit is the confidence you gain from being part of a larger organisation. This way I feel I’ve got back-up and it seems less risky. Also, I have others to bounce ideas off – it’s hard to check on your own creativity when you’re on your own. This way you’re still working with people.”
Trish Nawacki was the first MAD Academy franchisee.
 

“At the end of the day when I’ve finished bringing laughter and joy to everyone else’s children, I am still there at the school gate ready to pick up my own children and share some laughter with them.”
Emma Lelliot, franchisee in Maidenhead

You don’t need previous experience – we will train you.

Being a franchisee means you always have the advantage of MAD Academy expertise, support and reputation behind you. When you join the team you enjoy the following benefits that ensure your business goes from strength to strength:

• initial 5 day training program covering class and business management 
• comprehensive, on-going training plus attendance at the annual conference 
• Head Office team providing expertise and full support every day! 
• tried and tested successful business concept 
• strong, recognizable and well respected brand 
• complete package of class and business materials 
• full range of professionally developed marketing tools

Financially, we expect you to break even within a year

Start-up costs have been kept relatively low. Earnings are dependent on the number of children attending classes and you can decide whether to run classes in the school holidays as well as during the term. You also have the opportunity to supplement your income with popular children’s birthday parties, or by bringing a little MAD magic to local nurseries and pre-schools, plus selling an exciting range of branded merchandise.

Combining all these income streams, a franchisee holding 14 classes per week during term time only could expect profit/earnings to be in excess of £20,000 per annum.*

Drive, enthusiasm, humour – do these sound like you?

MAD Academy is looking for self-motivated, enthusiastic and confident communicators who enjoy working with children. You need to have the drive and ambition to build a successful business and the fun and energy to get a room full of children and adults on their feet and dancing! A love of music is essential, although you don’t have to be an expert - current franchisees have had previous careers as a care home manager, IT manager, several accountants and a health visitor!

The Key Benefits:

• Family friendly – flexible hours 
• Minimal commuting - locally based 
• Return on Investment in under a year 
• Established brand + proven format = low risk
