Welcome to season 2 of “How to Survive Dance Studio Life with Tiffany Henderson” I’m Amanda Scott the Director of Operations for Twinkle Star Dance.

Today’s episode was actually a webinar Tiffany did called “Surviving Summer 2020.” Throughout the webinar Tiffany discusses how Covid-19 was the “shake up she needed” after 20 years of running her dance studio business, important revenue streams including capitalizing on summer classes and camps in 2020, plus some of her steps and processes to rebuild her business.
Don’t miss the many layers Tiffany recommends offering your dance families this Summer - virtual, in person, hybrid options - and how she is preventing burnout in her staff with virtual training and events. Take a listen.

Episode 2 - “You Have the Power”
The old message that it is okay to be mistreated or walked on as dance teachers because we are making a difference in the world is not okay. When you open a business you take a huge risk, but the exciting part is as a dance studio owner you are the ultimate decision maker - you have all the power. In this episode, Tiffany dives into how to harness your power, ways to model confidence for your students, and reflects on it sometimes being “lonely at the top.”
