DANCERCISE KIDS CURRICULUM FOR STUDIOS

What is Dancercise Kids curriculum?
Simply put, it’s the complete program you need to operate a fun, non-competitive and parent-friendly curriculum for kids. Designed to introduce them to the basics of dance, fitness and movement in an age-appropriate format, kids stay excited with fresh material to learn all the time, and parents love the subtle but important educational aspects of this program that reinforce healthy habits and good manners.
Why should I buy a curriculum when I can create my own?
As a teacher, there’s no doubt that you have the skills to create a curriculum based on your training and experience. However, unless you’ve spent many years teaching dance to this unique age group, you’ll find that getting the right balance of music, choreography and activities for them is more challenging than it looks. Plus you have to find the music (and license it to ensure you’re using it legally, an area often overlooked until the licensing agents come knocking on the door). Instead, for a very modest fee you can purchase a complete, integrated three year curriculum to provide your studio with a compelling and fresh approach to teaching these younger kids and locking them into your classes.
There are lots of curriculum videos, choreography and music out there. Why buy yours?
You can certainly buy a curriculum DVD from lots of different places. You can buy music too. And you can buy choreography. But you still have to put it all together, and make it coordinated. You need to make it relevant to the kids. And you’re still taking a chance that it all works. Dancercise Kids is proven – this curriculum is being taught to thousands of kids. Reduce your risk and improve your chances of success by purchasing the complete product.
This curriculum seems expensive. I’m used to seeing things that cost $50-$100.
It’s true – you can find plenty of instructional videos for $40. However, that might cover 30 minutes of one dance or movement. As you put that together with music and choreography, it all starts to add up. In fact, by the time you’ve bought the equivalent of Dancercise Kids’ 130 songs, 18 hours of instructional DVDs and 240 pages of choreography, you’ll easily have spent the same or more on individual videos, CDs and books. And you will still have to put it all together.
What do I get for my investment?
You get everything you need. For the one year curriculum investment of $349 (plus tax, shipping & handling), you get 60 songs on four CDs, about 6 hours of instructional video on DVD, and 80 pages of choreography and lyrics! For your three year investment of $899, you’ll get the equivalent packaging for three years’ worth of curriculum.
Can I use the Dancercise Kids name and logo?
Yes. We will shortly be launching our "Premium Membership" offering which, for a modest annual fee, will allow you to use our logo and name in conjunction with your own business name for marketing and promotional purposes, subject to our license agreement. In addition, this membership will give you access to plenty of other material and learnings from our twenty years of teaching this age group, and some starter materials to coordinate your printed communication with the program.
Who’s using this curriculum today?
Dancercise Kids has been using this version of the curriculum for over seven years. Operating in Minnesota and Illinois, thousands of children at studios, schools, child care centers and community centers have enjoyed this music, dance and exercise program. This curriculum and music is also being used by studios and mobile dance programs from Ohio to Idaho and Mississippi to Malaysia. (Yes, really - we have a customer in Kuala Lumpur!).
When can I get the curriculum?
The year one curriculum is available now from our web store. Year two and year three will be released early in 2009. Those who purchase Year 1 of the curriculum will also be entitled to an upgrade discount for purchasing the remaining two years of the curriculum within six months of its release.
I’d like to talk to someone a bit more about this before I buy. Can I call you?
We’d love to hear from you! Please call us at 1 888 838 8385, or e-mail us at info@dancercise.com. We’ll be happy to talk you through the benefits of this purchase.
How can I pay?
You can purchase this through our online store.
Can I sell the music to my kids’ parents?
Yes. Our music is available in a retail format, and as a licensee of the curriculum, you will be able to buy our music at wholesale prices and sell it to your students’ families with a mark-up or through an affiliate link to our web store.
Can I use the curriculum with a mobile program?
Yes you can, but your license allows you to use only one copy of the curriculum, so if you have multiple instructors teaching classes simultaneously, you will need to purchase additional copies of the curriculum.
Can I make copies of the curriculum?
Just as with other copyrighted works, you may not make copies other than for usual “fair use” purposes (such as having a backup copy in case CDs get scratched). If you need to purchase multiple copies because you have multiple classes operating simultaneously (whether in a large studio or a mobile program), please contact us for volume pricing.

Can I upload the curriculum to my computer?
You may load the songs and video to a computer-based medium expressly and only for the purposes of having a more convenient medium (for example, if you want to have a reference copy of the curriculum video on your iPod). You may not reproduce the curriculum in any shape or form without prior written permission from Dancercise Kids and the copyright holder, asseT Productions.,
Is this curriculum professionally recorded?
Yes. Unlike many of the offerings out there, the music in this offering is completely original (no rehashed nursery rhymes here!) and has been developed specifically for this program. It has been mixed and mastered by the production team Fiction and all video was produced and directed by specialists in the industry.
How is the curriculum organized?
One of the main benefits of this curriculum is its original and attractive organization. Each year is divided into four quarters of material – Fitness Fun, Spotlight On Imagination, Planet Playground and Communication Carnival. Within each quarter, each month has a specific theme – a unit – that reinforces particular topics and ties together the music, the dances, the sign language and the education. Examples include units around “People and Places”, “Manners”, “Animals”, “When I Grow-up”, “Muscles” and more!
Am I purchasing or licensing this curriculum?
As with most other music and video properties, you are technically acquiring a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the material for the purposes outlined in the license agreement. This agreement that is included with your package is designed to allow you to use the curriculum for the purpose intended, and to protect the copyright holder.
How long will it take me to get my investment back?
It’s very easy to see how you can get your investment in this curriculum back very quickly. If you purchase the three-year curriculum for $899, you can see a payback in less than three months! For example, if you promote this program and successful in adding just ten kids to your program, at $40 per month, you will recoup your investment in just over two months (if you teach it yourself). And you have three years’ worth of material to work with!
How do you know this works?
Simple! We’re doing it ourselves. In our mobile program in multiple states and in our own studio, we’ve been offering this program for years. We take our own medicine and we are clearly differentiated from the other programs in the region. Kids love it, and so do parents.
