We’re delighted to announce a new partnership between Atek Accounting and bbodance, one of the UK’s longest-established dance education organisations, offering teaching qualifications, examinations and membership to dance teachers across the UK and beyond.
At Atek, our roots in the Performing Arts run deep. We know the realities of running a dance school – term-time income, venue hire, studio overheads – and the challenges of building a freelance teaching practice. It’s exactly the kind of business we love working with: creative, passionate, and deserving of financial support that speaks their language.
That’s why this partnership is such a natural fit. bbodance supports its teaching members with training, qualifications and community. We’ll be adding the financial side: helping members gain the clarity, confidence and direction they need to grow – whether that’s a freelance teacher getting to grips with self-assessment, a growing school taking on its first staff, or an established studio planning for the future.
What the partnership means for bbodance members
As part of the partnership, bbodance tmembers who become Atek clients will enjoy a range of exclusive benefits, including access to practical webinars and resources covering the financial side of running a dance business, along with discounts and other member perks. bbodance members can find full details through their membership.
“We already work with many performing arts businesses, so partnering with bbodance feels like a natural next step. Dance teachers and school owners pour everything into their students; our job is to make sure the finances never get in the way of that. We can’t wait to get started.”
— Kerrie Jenkins, Director, Atek Accounting
When you work with Atek, you get an extension of your team, not an outsourced service. We take the time to understand how your school or teaching practice actually runs – how your terms are structured, where your income comes from, and what you want to build – and shape our support around it. That might mean taking bookkeeping and day-to-day admin off your plate, helping you plan for growth, or simply being on the end of the phone when you need a straight answer.
Everything is powered by modern, digital-first tools, so you always have a clear, real-time picture of your finances – no waiting until year-end to find out how things are going. You can read more about how we work with performing arts schools.

If you’re a bbodance member – or run any dance or performing arts business – and would like to find out how we can help, book a free 30-minute discovery chat or email happytohelp@atek-accounting.co.uk.
