Any and all advice about opening a dance studio?

I have always wanted to own my own dance studio. I have 1 year left in college and really feel this is what I want to do. I would love any advice any of you have about where to even begin? Do you think its possible for a upcoming grad to achieve this? I would want to teach ballet jazz tap hip hop modern and possibly aerobics class (open to anything else that would present its self). Like I said anything you can tell me I will gladly take! Thanks!! :)Any and all advice about opening a dance studio?
