I’ve been running my Boogie Beat franchise for one year now, and what a joyful adventure it has been! Boogie Beat has allowed me to combine my love of music and movement with my passion for working with children — all while balancing life with my busy family of four.
Why I chose franchising
When my sister decided to sell her franchise, I saw an incredible opportunity. The idea of owning a business that could fit seamlessly around my family life was very appealing. I also knew that I loved singing, storytelling, and connecting with little ones — so Boogie Beat felt like a perfect match.
My career before Boogie Beat
Before this, I was (and still am, one day a week) a swimming teacher. Teaching swimming has always brought me so much joy, but I wanted something that would allow me to expand my love of teaching into new, creative ways. Boogie Beat gave me that and so much more.
Why Boogie Beat stood out
I chose Boogie Beat over other franchises because it truly keeps children’s imaginations alive. Storytelling is a powerful tool, and it was one of the most magical parts of my own childhood. Being able to share that magic and bring it to life for new generations felt incredibly special to me.
How I funded my franchise
Starting a business is a big step, and I decided to take out a loan to fund my Boogie Beat franchise. It was an investment not just in a business, but in a lifestyle that allows me to do what I love every day.
What I love most
Honestly, I love everything about running my Boogie Beat franchise. But if I had to choose, the absolute best part is seeing the children’s faces light up as we tell stories, sing, and move together. Their smiles and excitement are so rewarding and make every session feel magical.
Training and support
The training and ongoing support from head office have been fantastic. Hannah is always just a phone call or on an online meeting away, ready to help with advice or encouragement. Meeting other franchisees online has also created a lovely sense of community — we truly feel like a team.
Would I recommend it?
Without a doubt, yes! Boogie Beat is an amazing opportunity for anyone who loves working with children and wants a business that brings joy every single day.
The perks of being your own boss
Running my own business means I can fit work around my family life. With four children, flexibility is so important, and Boogie Beat gives me the perfect balance.
What I wish I’d known
I was fortunate to have worked as a Boogie Beat teacher before buying my franchise, so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. That experience helped me feel prepared and confident from the start.
Looking ahead
I’m excited to continue growing my business by expanding into more schools and reaching even more children. As my youngest child starts school, I hope to bring Boogie Beat sessions to new areas and inspire even more little imaginations across the community.
