About

My Story

Hi, I’m Katy Robinson, creator of ‘On Broadway’® Dance Fitness!

From a young age I always knew I wanted to dance! When I left school I landed my dream job performing on cruise ships. Feathers, sparkles, show tunes, dancing, travelling the world… I loved it all.

When I returned to my hometown of Sheffield a few years later, I qualified as a fitness instructor. Long story short: I was teaching 40+ classes a week, burnt out, and fell out of love with what I did. I even packed it all in at one point to get a 9 to 5 job to pay the bills. I lost sight of that girl who left school at 18 – excited to follow my dream!

But it wasn’t long until I re-discovered my TRUE purpose: helping women to find something they love to do to get fit. When I heard the statistic that 75% of women avoided exercise due to fear of judgment (Sports England), I knew I needed to do something about it. And this, along with my passion for dance, is when ‘On Broadway’® Dance Fitness was born.

Our mission is to help as many women as possible to embrace confidence, prioritise self-care, and find JOY in fitness through the magic of musicals and dance!

My unique business model enabled me to replace my full time wage by teaching just 6 classes per week. I support my franchisees to turn THEIR passion for dance into a successful, profitable, and FUN business they love.

At ‘On Broadway’® Dance Fitness, we believe EVERYONE deserves to feel confident, allow time for themselves and find something they love to do to get fit!

On Broadway® Dance Fitness is a dance fitness class themed on songs and dance styles from popular musical theatre shows like A Chorus Line, Chicago, and Dirty Dancing.

We bring Broadway magic to life using top hats, feather boas, canes and songs from all the popular Broadway shows, in local community venues that offer safe, non-judgemental classes for women of all ages, shapes, sizes and those with two left feet.
