For people who want to build a flexible, meaningful business around a love of dance, musicals and helping women feel more confident.
Each routine is taught progressively over four weeks, giving clients a real sense of achievement while allowing franchisees to teach the same choreography across multiple classes each week.
With the option to expand into additional venues, build a team of instructors and gradually spend more time growing the business rather than teaching every class themselves.
Katy began her career performing on cruise ships before moving into the fitness industry. After experiencing burnout from teaching more than 40 classes a week, she stepped away and built a second career as an Executive Assistant.
In 2013, Katy launched On Broadway® Dance Fitness alongside her full-time job, combining her love of dance, musical theatre and fitness with a desire to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space for women. Eight months later, she left employment to grow the business full time.
Today, On Broadway® Dance Fitness operates through a growing UK franchise network, with Katy’s mission to improve the lives of 10,000 women through dance, confidence, connection and joy.

What matters far more is a love of dance and musicals, an enthusiasm for helping other women, and the desire to build a flexible, meaningful business of your own.
If you don’t already hold the required dance fitness teaching qualification, we can support you through the training route to gain the qualification you need to teach On Broadway® Dance Fitness classes.
Once you’ve registered to receive the prospectus, we’ll also invite you to watch our pre-recorded Group Discovery Session, giving you the opportunity to explore the franchise in more depth, hear more about how the business works and understand the support available.
If it leaves you thinking “I’d love to explore this further”, the next step is to book a chat with Katy. From there, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, explore territory availability, speak to existing franchisees and carry out your own due diligence before making any decisions.
If we both feel there’s a good fit, we’ll then guide you through securing your territory, completing any required training or qualifications, setting up your business and preparing for launch.

That doesn’t have to stop you.
On Broadway® can support you with a route to gain the appropriate dance fitness teaching qualification as part of your journey to launch.
The business model is based on teaching a minimum of three classes per week, which means it can be built around an existing job, children or other commitments. For some franchisees it may remain a flexible part-time business; for others, it can grow into a full-time career and larger business.
“I didn’t leave my employed job and then start the business. I built On Broadway® Dance Fitness alongside my job as an Executive Assistant. I was teaching six classes a week while still employed and grew the business to around £3,000 a month in revenue before I felt able to make the leap and leave my EA career.
That’s one of the things I love about the model now. You don’t have to decide on day one that you’re giving up your career and going all-in. You can start with a smaller timetable, prove the model in your area and build from there.”
As the business develops, franchisees can add venues, classes and a team of instructors, allowing the business to serve more clients and generate more income without the franchisee having to personally deliver every class.
Earning potential will vary according to client numbers, pricing, territory, operating costs and how each franchisee chooses to grow their business. All earning examples are illustrative rather than guaranteed, and we encourage every prospective franchisee to carry out their own due diligence.
“The security of the corporate world I knew used to seem like the only option to take care of my new family. But fast forward to today and I am living my dream, building and running a dance fitness business! My life is now fulfilling, joyful and easy thanks to the On Broadway® Dance Fitness franchise”
“I went from school teacher to dance fitness business owner… I’m working LESS than I ever have IN MY LIFE (3–6 hours teaching a week + admin) and earning MORE than my full time teacher salary… which often saw me working 12+ hours a day.”
“I’ve gone from having to work loads of hours, weekends & evenings… to now being able to make my OWN schedule that works for me and my life.”
“Exactly what I wanted as a new Mum! I was nervous at first, but I had LOADS of amazing support from Katy and other Franchisees. I now have an amazing work-life balance, I have a team of instructors, and my business has grown and grown!”
