Training

DivaDance offers a detailed and multifaceted training program to prepare its franchisees for success.

  1. Initial Training Program
    Franchisees must complete a combination of virtual and in-person training, typically conducted in Austin, Texas or a mutually agreed location, covering sales, marketing, operations, and leadership mindset. This also includes an in-studio “Class Experience Immersion” of about 10 classes with hands-on sales, operations, and staff-shadowing.
  2. Field Training and Pre-Launch Support
    Within 45 days of starting the business, DivaDance sends two representatives (such as an executive or certified trainer) to the franchisee’s territory to assist with preview events and sales. Additionally, up to eight weeks of virtual sales and marketing support are provided to help with pre-launch momentum.
  3. Specialized Programs and Certifications
    Franchisees and their teams receive Parties & Programs Business Training, Financial and Accounting Training (including QuickBooks setup), and Confidence Camp, which is a four-day “train the trainer” program covering operations, sales, and content creation.

Territory Protection

DivaDance provides its franchisees with a protected territory based on a population factor of 100,000 to 150,000 people, ensuring that no other DivaDance franchise or company-owned center will operate within that area.

This protection helps franchisees avoid direct brand competition, although they may still face competition from other outlets or brands controlled by the franchisor. The protected area is determined using current demographic data and is not tied to the achievement of specific sales or market share.

However, DivaDance’s territory protection is conditional on meeting minimum performance criteria, such as achieving $4,000 in monthly gross sales by the second full month and scaling up to $170,000 annually by the third year.
