2. The goal of my business is to provide diverse dance classes at all levels to meet a larger variety of dancers’ needs.

3.  There aren’t many dance studios in Santa Barbara County  Natasha’s Dance Lessons will have a competitive advantage over the competition because We will offer a wider range of classes and levels. Our staff will also be unbeatable.

4.  My very experienced staff includes: Kara Wells (ballet and Point), Mark Salsbury (jazz and Broadway), Martha Polly (flamenco, African, and world dance), Lisa Gram (Modern and contemporary), John Thomson (hip hop and breaking), and myself (all).  I have been dancing since age 4 and been a teacher for 5 years.

5.  There have always been some very accomplished studios in Santa Barbara county including State Street ballet and The Los Olivos Dance Gallery. › I hope that one day my business will be as good as theirs.

6.  My business is based on amazing instructors with tons of experience and top of the line learning facilities.

7.  In five years, I see my business being a leading dance studio in Santa Barbara county.  In two years I plan to build a staff that brings lots of business. › More dancers › More studios

8.  Resources: › Highly trained teachers › Marley covered dance studios complete with ballet bars and sound systems › Enough money to pay employees and for the studio › The studio will have an annual show to promote and raise money for the business

9.  I am running the risk of being unable to find suitable teachers.  I expect that having the studio in Santa Barbara will terminate this issue.

10.  Near term › I am going to need to get more money to start this business. › Postponement is not an issue. Although I hope to have a small business by next year.  Long term › After this business is up and running, the only issue that I foresee is getting and keeping permanent dance instructors.
