From leotards to business cards, from music to business forms, Kinderdance® provides an initial supply of over 70 items you will need to start your business. Here is just a sample of what's included:
No matter what level you choose, it will normally include between 250 to 400 locations; which is predicated on a population density of up to 400,000 residents. You will be awarded the right to teach all four of our programs (which is like having 4 separate franchises and only paying for one). There are no additional charges. Corporate "Quick Start" on-site marketing visits are available for all levels.
BRONZE - $12,000- Designed for the person who wants to teach all the classes by themselves on a part-time or full-time basis. Each Bronze Level franchisee is authorized to teach in up to 10 locations* within their area.
SILVER - $18,000- Designed for people who want to teach the Kinderdance® programs themselves or with a teacher on a full-time basis. Each Silver Level franchise is authorized to teach in up to 20 locations* in their area.
GOLD - $28,000- Designed for people who want to market and train others. This gives you unlimited locations in an exclusive territory of up to a 400,000 population (determined by city, county, or zip code boundaries). You may or may not teach the program yourself.

"My Kinderdance® experience has been personally rewarding and purchasing a Kinderdance® franchise has proven to be one of the better decisions I have made during my life."
Darcy Christman, Camas, Washington
"Opening a Kinderdance® franchise in New York City was extremely challenging, marketing and teaching via subway and bus rather than a car. After a year and a half, I have over 600 children enrolled in the program and employ three teachers."
Carol Baird, New York, New York
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
