With a desire to offer a dance school in the local area, Krystyna Price launched DanceBeatz in 2015 after training at Merseyside Dance and Drama Centre and achieving several teaching qualifications.
Krystyna has also gained British Gymnastics qualifications Level 1 & 2 in Acro, Women’s Artistic and Team Gym, and now runs the studios along with three other dance teachers.
Krystyna, said: "After 9 years, I’m so proud of everything we’ve achieved as a school but it’s time to refresh and get ready for all the new opportunities RDS will bring us.
"2023 was definitely the most challenging year for me as a business owner. Businesses change and develop over the years and at times I’ve found that overwhelming.
"As my school has grown so has my family. I’ve found it hard to be a perfect teacher and a perfect mother at all times. I’ve learnt that you can’t always please everyone and that’s okay. I’ve learnt I’m not invincible but I will always try my absolute best at everything I do."
With Krystyna's partner helping to build the new studio, the dance teacher thanked all of her students, teachers, and family for their help in growing the dance school to where it is today.
