The Dance Academy — Worthington, MN

Kay Williams Prunty was forced to move her business when the building she was renting went up for sale. The “Dance Academy” had offered ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, and modern dance in downtown Worthington since 1996. Kay contacted the Southwest Minnesota SBDC for assistance in finding a new location and completing the financial projections she would need to secure a loan. The Dance Academy moved into a larger, newly remodeled building with the start of fall classes in September 2020. The new space now allows Kay to offer even more programs. “I am so thankful for Berny Berger at SBDC and the team that made it possible to move my business and continue doing what I love. They truly care about us small businesses!”, said Prunty.

I tell everyone I meet to go see an MS-SBDC counselor. It’s just so helpful. I couldn’t have done it without my counselor's help!
