In this episode I chat with Jack Seager, founder of the Community Interest Company Jack Seager School of Dance. Jack is deeply committed to making dance accessible for every child and every family, and he shares the powerful story behind building a dance school rooted in community, inclusion and opportunity.

Jack takes us through his journey from young performer to business owner, opening up about the realities of establishing a CIC, navigating funding, and creating a space where students feel valued, supported and inspired. We explore what it takes to lead with heart in the performing arts industry and the balance between resilience, emotional connection and the drive to make a genuine difference.

We discuss

• Dance as an art form that should be accessible to everyone regardless of background

• How establishing a CIC creates opportunities for community focused work

• The role of funding in keeping training affordable for families

• Why building a strong and supportive community accelerates growth

• The challenges of marketing to local schools and navigating gatekeepers

• The importance of adapting teaching styles to meet diverse student needs

• How emotional connection with students shapes the work in both beautiful and complex ways

• The confidence and resilience needed to thrive in the arts

• The power of collaboration over competition

• The importance of returning to the deeper reason behind your passion and your purpose

This conversation is full of insight, encouragement and real behind the scenes wisdom for anyone who cares about inclusive arts education or is building a mission led business in the performing arts.
