We have some very exciting news to share… Tot Bop is officially expanding!
After nearly 10 years of building Tot Bop into the business it is today, I’m incredibly proud to announce that we have taken the next big step in our journey … franchising!
What started back in 2016, while I was on maternity leave with my second child, has grown into a thriving children’s dance and creative movement business, delivering classes across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and beyond.
Having spent many years developing our unique syllabus, refining our teaching methods and building a business that offers so much more than just a dance class, franchising has always been part of my long-term vision. I wanted to create an opportunity for other like-minded people to run their own business, share their passion for dance and make a genuine difference to children’s lives.
And now, that vision is becoming a reality!
Meet our first Tot Bop franchisees!
I’m delighted to welcome two very talented ladies to the Tot Bop family, who are now bringing our classes to even more local communities.
Jane Soloman – Tot Bop Chilterns North
Jane is a professional performer with an impressive background in West End theatre, film and television. Having trained at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and Arts Educational Schools London, Jane brings a wealth of performance experience and a real passion for working with children.
Jane’s territory includes Tring, Berkhamsted, Chesham, Amersham and Hemel Hempstead, meaning Tot Bop classes are returning to some familiar locations!
Maddie West – Tot Bop North Bucks & West Northants
Maddie trained at Arts One School of Performance before graduating from MPAA with a BA Hons degree in Musical Theatre Performance, alongside her ISTD teaching qualifications in Modern and Tap.
With experience teaching children of all ages, Maddie is passionate about sharing her love of dance and helping young people develop confidence and new skills.
Maddie’s territory covers Buckingham, Brackley, Towcester and North Milton Keynes.
Both Jane and Maddie bring fantastic experience, enthusiasm and their own individual talents to Tot Bop, and I couldn’t be happier to have them on board!
So, what’s next for Tot Bop?
This is just the beginning! Our aim is to continue growing Tot Bop, reaching more children and families and introducing our unique approach to dance and creative movement to communities further afield.
At Tot Bop, we believe children deserve more than simply being shown a few dance moves. Our classes combine real dance foundations with creativity, imagination and musicality, all underpinned by EYFS learning. We want children to have fun, develop new skills, build confidence and, above all, discover a lifelong love of movement.
Franchising allows us to share that ethos with more families, while giving passionate individuals the opportunity to build a rewarding business of their own, with the training, resources and support to help them succeed.
I’m incredibly proud of how far Tot Bop has come, and I’m so super grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way. I’m also very excited about what the future holds.
Here’s to the next chapter and lots more little dancers finding their groove with Tot Bop!
