No More ‘Job for Life’

We’re living in uncertain times. There was once such a thing as a ‘job for life’, and many of our parents (or at least grandparents) expected to get a job straight from school and slowly advance through the ranks as they gained experience. Not any more. According to research from global market analysts, Mintel, one in three workers now remain in a job for less than two years.

Serious dancing for serious success

Not just a dance instructor

Back in the Seventies and Eighties, when aerobic dance was becoming established as a commercial success, most instructors had enough on their plate learning the fundamentals of their chosen form, attracting customers and coming up with choreography. In today’s fickle, high-paced market, the rules have changed.

With all the literature floating around on the internet, you might be forgiven for thinking that detox is a modern invention. In fact, detox has been practiced for centuries by many different cultures, and the ayurvedic and Chinese medicine systems all place great value on detoxifying the body. But what are toxins and where do they come from?

Toxins Harm the Body

To be successful in the street dance fitness® industry you need to be ahead of the game!

You can achieve this by talking to your customers and other local people; building relationships with other fitness professionals; attending fitness conventions and subscribing to relevant publications and websites. In this way you will be alerted to changes in mood or popular new movements, and able to adapt your classes to be prepared rather than struggling to catch up.

As a dance fitness instructor, your body is your livelihood. To cope with the physical and mental demands of high-level dance fitness performance, you need to ensure you provide your body with adequate quantities of nutritionally-balanced food.

This post explains what this means for the average, healthy dance instructor.

With the popularity of dance as a way to lose weight and get fit continuing to gather pace, it should come as no surprise that scores of individuals and companies are setting their sights on the dance fitness industry as an exciting way to make a living.

For passionate dancers & street dancers looking for a way into this promising new world, the options can seem bewildering. With every new player in the market claiming that they’re the real deal, who should you put your trust in? Or should you ignore them all and focus on carving your own path to success?

The Spice of Dance

They say that variety is the spice of life; well, a Street Fit® licence will give you that special ingredient guaranteed to give a kick to any choreography – absolute creative control.

The idea that working out can be fun (and needs to be if you want to attract customers!) is catching on fast, and Street Fit are by no means the only fitness company that want to turn fitness into more of a party than a chore.

Content is king! That’s the mantra you often hear from entrepreneurs and of course they’re right…partly.

That’s why Street Fit have invested so much time and money in creating a workout structure that really gets results, and a membership program that delivers regular instalments of fresh choreography. In our industry, results really count and if customers can’t shift the pounds, can’t see an improvement in muscle definition or simply aren’t enjoying themselves they’ll be off to try something else.

From escapee crocodiles in Essex to mythical dragons from Libya, the source of the ‘real’ story of ‘St George and the Dragon’ is a matter of some debate.
