Be the Good Opportunity: Why Dance Studios Should Join This Erasmus+ Seminar

The dance world is not just about movement—it’s about transformation, empowerment, and creating opportunities. Dance studios, especially those with a social mission, have the potential to drive positive change in their communities. That’s why the upcoming Erasmus+ seminar, “Be the Good Opportunity,” taking place from July 4-12, 2025, in Progled, Bulgaria, is an incredible chance for dance studio owners, instructors, and social entrepreneurs to develop business skills that will help them grow their impact and sustainability.

Why Should Dance Studios Apply?

While dance is an art form, running a dance studio is also a business. Many studios struggle with financial stability, youth engagement, and long-term growth strategies. This 9-day seminar on social entrepreneurship and business development will equip participants with crucial skills such as:

✔ Creating sustainable business models – Learn how to develop a strong business plan that ensures your dance studio thrives, not just survives.
✔ Identifying social needs – Discover how to align your studio’s mission with the needs of vulnerable groups, making dance a tool for inclusion.
✔ Attracting funding and investors – Erasmus+ projects, grants, and business funding can help turn your dance studio into a social enterprise.
✔ Building international partnerships – Connect with like-minded professionals, youth leaders, and entrepreneurs from different European countries.
✔ Learning from experts – Gain insights from experienced professionals in business strategy, market analysis, and community engagement.

Dance as a Social and Economic Force

Dance has long been used as a medium for social inclusion, youth development, and community empowerment. Many dance studios already engage in projects that combat social inequalities, support at-risk youth, or provide spaces for artistic expression. However, sustaining and expanding these efforts requires strategic planning and financial resources—exactly what this seminar aims to provide.

By joining this seminar, dance professionals can learn how to turn their passion into a social enterprise that not only inspires but also creates tangible economic opportunities in their communities.

Who Can Apply?

The seminar is open to participants from Cyprus, Italy, Poland, and Romania who are involved in youth work, social entrepreneurship, or community-driven initiatives. If you run a dance studio, work with young dancers, or want to use dance as a tool for social change, this is a perfect fit for you!
