What is Twinkle Star Dance Academy?

Twinkle Star Dance Academy is a turn-key dance studio business that incorporates Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip-hop, Lyrical, and Creative Movement.

The foundation of a successful dance studio business is comprised of dancers ages 2 thru 6 years of age. The TSDA pre-school curriculum and its delivery system attracts and retains dancers in this age group as well as dancers ages 6+. The TSDA curriculum is what sets us apart from all the rest. Twinkle Babies, Twinkle Stars, Show Stars, and Elite Stars are founded on the Twinkle Star Method’s four pillars:

Skill Building

Skill Building is the essential base that all dancers need when they start out. They continue to fine tune these skills throughout their dance life. Curriculum is key, and Twinkle Star offers proven options that your teachers can rely on to keep class effective, valuable, and fun for your littlest students.

Just For Fun

Keep them coming back for more with fun activities, storylines, and sweetness that every little dancer dreams of. They will beg to come back to class. Retain the little ones with fun! 

TSD Center Movement Icon copy.png

Center Movement

Center Movement builds on all the skills they've been learning. Center combinations are taught and practiced. They can really start to dance and move together as a core of tiny dancers. Center Movement is key to experience before they begin to learn choreography for the recital. The dancers get a taste of performance before the big show.

Showtime

The big day! Showtime provides choreography, recital themes, and costume ideas to get your classes ready for their big show. Recital season has never run so smoothly! They will never forget their first performance and will be back for more during the next season. The parents will love it too.

Engaging Classroom Content 

Twinkle Star Dance classes are the perfect balance of structure and fun! Each class is created according to child development principles and is appropriate for their age and stage. The curriculum is tested in our dance studio laboratory of 7 studios in diverse populations as well as our curriculum subscriber base of 300 studios worldwide. As a business owner, ensuring that the dance classes are taught correctly by qualified instructors is as important to a dance studio as a qualified chef and tested recipes are to a great restaurant. A dance studio without great classes that are fun, engaging and just the right amount of “challenging”, will eventually become a very lonely place.

Energized Teachers

The Twinkle Star Dance program is a trademarked teacher training system that utilizes password protected streaming video lessons along with written lesson plans to ensure our high standards are adopted and maintained at all times. All certified teachers have a set curriculum to follow for each level. Instructors focus on masterful delivery of the class content rather than experimenting with their own unproven class content.

Additional Revenue Opportunities

Dance studio businesses are rarely profitable with class tuition revenue alone. Twinkle Star Dance Academy begins with the end in mind and our goal is to put each dancer on stage two times per season. These performances yield additional profit in the form of costume profit, recital ticket profit, action photo profit, performance video profit, class picture profit, concession profit.

Additionally, the Twinkle Star Dance dress code, or “class uniform” for all dancers, yields additional guaranteed profit without the hassle of buying inventory and dealing with over-the-counter Point of Sales systems.

Instead of feeling isolated and lonely, you’ll join a fun and supportive community of active dance studio owners, administrators and teachers who utilize the Twinkle Star Dance method and gain access to Tiffany’s highly sought after industry partners and systems.

What do we look for in our TSDA franchise owners?

His sisters were elite state champion gymnasts/dancers and his mother owned a dance studio and eventually a dancewear store he managed. He and his wife, Tiffany currently own and operate 7 successful dance studios in Northern California.
