Make Dance Fun

In Episode 32, it's a Festive Fall Faculty Fun party we call Pumpkin Pizzazz - a fun kick-off to fall for our staff to get together and decorate pumpkins. 

Invitations:  Create a fun graphic to get everyone in a fun, fall mood and send via Paperless Post or Evite so you can easily track who's attending.

What to wear: Make it as simple and convenient as possible for staff.  We just suggest everyone wear black and then we may provide some fun really inexpensive masks for everyone to wear for photos we might take. 

If your staff wants to dress up, a fun idea is to use this halloween costume generator from Different Drummer Dance. 

Food: Breakfast - Fall/pumpkin  flavored donuts, pastries and coffee. 
Lunch: Cater something simple like Chicken Salad Chick
Sweets: Fall/Halloween themed Donuts, cookies and candy.

Set-Up: You can go full out or keep it simple; inside or outside. You can do a Fall theme, Halloween theme or even in the theme of your show. We recommend doing outside if weather permits!

Craft supplies: Glue guns, E-6000, Elmer’s Craft Glue, craft/scrapbook/glitter paper, pom pom balls, googly eyes, spiders, halloween stickers, rhinestones, pipe cleaners. Fall or Halloween paper plates and small bowls to use for everyone to gather their craft supplies in is key. 

We also set up a cute table for the food, and had a shelf outside to display the completed the pumpkins. The decorated pumpkins are so fun for the kids to look at and guess which one is from their teacher. You can create contest for dancers to select their favorite or just use them as decor! 

If you have time during your staff get together, this would be a great opportunity to teach them our Halloweek on the Dance Floor combo. New combo coming soon, but check out all our past combos here. 

You can easily this translate this event into a teen or company member bonding event. You can buy lots of $1 tiny pumpkins and use Sharpies to decorate them.

Take photos and video of your event - each person with their pumpkin and a group shot. Use video footage to create a Reel/story, etc! This is such a fun event to share on social media and also great pics to use for a staff bday and on your staff page in your year-end show program! 

We hope this inspires you to get in the mood for fall and/or halloween and put something simple and fun on the calendar for your staff.

Episode 31 was recorded from our hotel room in New York City!  We are here again after missing it for 2 years searching for fabulous fabric for our custom costumes! 

At Rhythm, we have always designed our own costumes and had them made for our performing company dancers. For years, we would have people ask us where we bought our costumes or how we went about designing them and the actual sewing process. So, a few years ago, we created Fabric Shopping in NYC: A Complete Guide for Designing Custom Costumes available for purchase in our Confetti Shop. It’s a step-by-step guide to finding the perfect fabrics and trims to create custom costumes for your studio. We use it ourselves and this trip, we used it to confirm which fabric stores were still in business, and most are still going strong! 

What is the same?

• The feeling of being completely overwhelmed by the choices that NYC fabric shopping gives you is definitely the same! We were worried the garment district took a hit due to Covid with Broadway being shut down, but it is alive and well with most of our favorite stores still in business with tons of amazing fabrics! 
• The many, many smells are the same! 
• Amazing trim and appliqué options - the same! 

What's different?

• A few locations have moved or closed, not many have fully disappeared. The store owners told us the break was a great time to negotiate rent and better opportunities.
• One of our favorite go-to stretch houses - Spandex World (it was on 35th) is no longer there. We think they have just condensed to their Queens location, which we didn’t make it to on this trip. 
• Several restaurants are gone but we found a few new ones that we loved! Beatnik on 38th near Broadway is vegan and great! 

Top 3 places we shopped this week (all between 7th & 8th)
Spandex House  - 263 W. 38th - Always a go-to! They have TONS of stretch fabrics, are super nice and the same people have been working here for years! They always let us store things, move fabric around and let us sit on the floor and figure things out! And, they have quantity on site, so they can handle big orders! 

Vardhman, Inc. - 269 W. 39th  - This TINY store has trim, elastic and ribbons. Small but incredible selection of fun appliqués and patches. Think smiley faces, flowers, eyeballs, planets and quirky, fun sparkly little things! 

MOOD - 225 W. 37th on 3rd Floor  - The building is called “Bricken Arcade” and you can enter on 37th or 38th. This store is the best store EVER - the options are limitless! They have every type of fabric in every color, texture, print, weight...it is a literal fabric candy store! 

We highly recommend checking out the Garment District -mainly 37th - 39th between 7th and 8th.  Learn more here!

Episode 30 is Part 3 of our Preschool Dance Party Series! We have a very special guest with us – our preschool director Ms. Jenni! She is responsible for so much preschool fun, we consistently get her feedback for Twirl and she is a regular contributor to our Camp Confettis and much more! She's celebrating her 16th season with us at Rhythm!

Her top 4 tips for running a successful preschool class:
1. Be flexible - be ready to change your plan at all times
2. Creativity - give them a visual for everything you are describing
3. Patience - all kinds of patience! Connect with each student, have a question of the week, get them talking
4. Be comfortable with some controlled chaos and have your methods for reeling them back in
5. Consistency and structure  

She talks about how Twirl inspires her creativity and her favorite themes in Twirl are fairies, space, 50s and 70s, dinos (she uses plastic eggs with a big gem in it and they go for a dig and earn a gem for performing a step). Dino Foot Prints: laminate them so they last longer

Planning our Twirl Season: Track in Google Doc, usually one per month, hold round tables, the week before sends reminders and details to teachers and assistants with details about props, sets up early on the first lesson of the week. Week before send email reminder to families of theme, what to wear. Week after send recap email with fun photos. 

How she formats a Twirl class: Start in tap shoes, warm-up center, then across the floor. If activity is tap, bring books out earlier; if ballet, later. How we handle the books depends on the class - either inspiration or read whole thing. Let them find the page, review, put books away. Keep the same elements of the theme throughout the class even after done with the Twirl activity.

Favorite props: Technical - hula hoops, color dance dots (teach jazz square), ballet barres, parachutes, footprints; Fun Props - Flashie Cards, light-up wands, finger lights, ribbon sticks, light machine, scarves.

Organizing Props: Books are kept in magazine racks, uses closet rods to hang some items, baskets/bins to store like props. If you are moving from one studio to another, keep a set in a bin to take with you. Sort items that "work" from those that "don't work"

She uses some of the Twirl activities/themes every week mermaids, flower stretches, rainbows, unicorns, not just on Twirl weeks.

Episode 29 is Part 2 of our Preschool Dance Party series. We're sharing  ideas for Preschool Progressions - fun ways to up our across-the-floor game! Dancing across the floor is fun and if your preschoolers continue dancing, progressions are not going anywhere! Start helping them understand standing in line, waiting their turn, going across the floor to get individual feedback from the teacher, doing a series of steps, working on coordination and just adding in some creativity and FUN! 

Hopscotch: Great for working on coordination skills, jumping and shifting weight from one foot to two.  Create a hopscotch path with tape, chalk, rubber mats, etc. Use animal options like bunnies, kangaroos, frogs, grasshoppers and even cats. Purchase inexpensive animal headbands, bunny ears or poodle skirts for them to wear to add fun. As they advance, add a rhythm and musicality challenge to it.

Rainbow Runner: Use a table runner for a vibrant visual path that the dancers can skip down, chassé, do heel drops, etc. Purchase a 100 ft. rainbow plastic tablecloth roll for an instant colorful path! 

Obstacle Courses: Preschoolers love something specific to focus on like traveling to different locations and making each stop along the path something exciting. Theming them out to the fullest keeps them engaged and interested in what’s going on. Our Twirl Flashie Cards are great for obstacle courses. You can place the cards at the different stops and they have to flip them over and demonstrate whatever the step or image is. 

Dino Feet: Cut out giant dinosaur prints from poster board ~14x8, add tape to secure, place multiple sets side by side facing different directions. The dancers  jump on two feet right on top of the dino prints but have to change their direction to match the direction the prints are facing.  You can do this activity with any feet - puppy, cat paws, snowman, etc.  

Hula Hoops: Set them up for each of the stops along the path and they can jump into them and demonstrate certain steps, they can jump out of them, pick it up and use it as a handheld prop, and they can crawl or step through them. Imagine they are giant donuts or wheels, etc. Or line them up across the floor touching and the kids can pretend they are astronauts and do moon jumps from one hoop to the next. Then they can try to moonwalk back to the end of the line. 

Bonus fun: create a human maypole. Tie really long pieces of ribbon around the hula hoop, enough for each dancer to hold onto one. Make a circle and hold the hula hoop up high over your head while the dancers will dance with the ribbons. 

Ideas for Keeping Dancers Standing in Line: Stanchions, Rugs ("magic carpet"!), Yoga mats , Dance Dots (turn them into flower petals, musical notes, bunny ears, etc.) , Colorful Tape

Think outside the box, add a piece of imagination to it and have fun!

Episode 28 is Part 1 of a new series called Preschool Dance Party and we're sharing 8 fun props you can use in your preschool dance classes! 

We put a big focus on our preschoolers as they are the future of our studio. Be confident that your preschool team truly loves working with the little ones. They feed off the energy of the teacher, and that energy needs to be amazing and positive and nurturing. 

We use our Twirl program - check out Episode 24! We also offer Fairytale Ballet, Hip Hop & Pop as an intro to Hip Hop and Petite Pizzazz (invitation-only). Variety is important because when you limit the options, you run the risk of losing them to gymnastics, cheerleading or possibly another studio.

Our ultimate goal with props is to bring  fun and excitement to keep them engaged and wanting to come back! 

Finger Lights & Firefly Jars: Each dancer gets a few lights for each hand; we turn out the lights and let them float around the room being fairies or fireflies.

#totesadorbs Beastly BFFs: These adorable friends are animals that we painted and gave them cute accessories and made them fabulous!! Check out this blog post for ideas!  

Disco Vibes: Make your class more magical with a Disco Ball, Karaoke machine with a built-in light show option that  moves to the beat of the music, Light-up magic wands and glow sticks!

Do you Want to Build a Snowman?: This winter activity is well worth the work for creating it!

Piñatas: Inexpensive and great to decor! Dancers can carry them as they demonstrate specific steps across the floor, pass them in a circle, or use in an obstacle course.

Twirl Flashie Cards: This is a super fun  product that comes with 2 complete sets of 20 cards (total of 40 cards) + suggested uses! 

Styrofoam Rings Covered in Duct Tape: These handheld props are great for working on coordination skills. Use a foam ring or heart shape to work arm coordination while the feet are tapping. 

Flamingo Themed Crafts/Props: Flappy the Flamingo Cane: This blog post tells you how to create one; Use pink feather dusters as a handheld prop to work on coordination skills; and feather feet, which are super cute little additions to the dancers’ tap shoes. They are so easy to make by using an elastic band and three pink feathers glued to it. They easily slip on and off their tap shoes and add a fun little fluff to their tapping.

In Episode 27, we're sharing 5 things we're doing right now to get ready for the new season!

1. Final Marketing Push: Our office manager gives us daily updates on what enrollment looks like for every class and this is how we determine our marketing strategy and what makes the most sense when creating ads or social posts. Run FB ads for specific classes with openings. Hold free trial classes and advertise through email and social media focusing on new students and current dancers who might add additional classes. This gives dancers a chance to try a different genre without a commitment. Teachers explain what they can expect in class, and do a short demonstration. Offer incentives for anyone who registers after attending!

2. Update website and social: Read through every page on your website and update it with new dates, stats, details. Even if a potential customer finds you on social media or hears about you from a friend or a google search...they are most likely going to head straight to your website! Is it user friendly? Is your schedule easy to find and understand? Can they register online? Dates and info updated and correct? Is your dress code there? Your website needs consistent check ins and updates, especially now. Same with your social feeds - make current and show all aspects of your studio and what is happening, show different classes/styles and all thats going on in your studio, behind the scenes etc. 

3. Welcome Back Party and Open House: Listen to Episode 26 for details! Our theme this year: PLANET RHYTHM..Blasting off into a new season! We're carrying it over into the first week of classes also so everyone can enjoy the fun if they couldn't come. See #planetrhythmblastoff for fun pics!

4. Staff Kick Off: Set the tone for the season, reviewed staff guidelines and procedures. We created our Vision statement and re-did our core values! We also hold individual meetings with each member to start the year. We will have them fill out a google form prior to the meeting with some questions and goals and such and we always talk about strengths and weaknesses and anything new with their role or that needs to be addressed with their role. This is an important part of making sure we kick off the season all on the same page! 

5. Updating the Studio: Normally a big deal but was put on backburner last year. This is something we put a lot of focus on each year, but, just being honest, it was put on the back burner all of last season. Doesn't require major updates, but fresh paint, maybe a new step and repeat or photo area where everyone will take photos and post on their social channels.  Give your front desk or office a little makeover since that’s the one place most parents are going to see if you’re opening your lobby this season. Maybe you can update simple signage to direct everyone where to go since it’s been a while. It will make you feel better when you walk in the space and your customers will absolutely notice and appreciate it.

In Episode 26, we're sharing some fun ideas and themes for Back To Dance! 

We always have an Open House and Welcome Back Party at Rhythm to kick off our new season. Dancers meet their teachers, see the studio and watch performances. We're using our Rhythm Jungle Jam as an example.

First, we choose a theme, then we create a name for the event based on the theme. Next, make lists of keywords and interchange them with your studio name until you find one you love! If you’re marketing for a specific age group or specific genre of dance, you would want to name it accordingly. 

Create a Hashtag: It doesn’t have to be the exact event name, but keep it simple and unique to your studio so customers will use it. Use it on every single photo you post from the event. #RhythmJungleJam

Create custom photo backdrops: We repurposed a photo backdrop from our show by replacing a few items to convert it from candy to animal print.  More ideas in this episode. We also have a fun wall that we change up throughout the year to match our themes/events. 

Other fun ideas:

• Designed stickers and buttons, printed through Sticker Mule to give away at event
• Staff and dancers dressed in their favorite wild/jungle attire.
• Animal print balloons and glow sticks
• Spotify playlist with a ton of fun wild, jungle, party songs on it 

Pre-Covid, our open house was carnival atmosphere with everyone going from studio to studio with a bounce house, face painting, fashion shows, performances, dance parties, photos and more! The studio was packed and crazy and amazing! 

Socially distanced,  our theme was Rhythm Berry Bananza! A small cluster of guests were escorted from room to room, each with a different experience: A welcome and fun performance, teacher photos, learning about our year-end show with photos and posters, company performances, photo ops and class demonstrations. Staff was available to answer questions about classes or registration, and they received prepackaged snacks as they left! Since one staff member escorted them through the whole thing, it flowed smoothly,  controlled the crowds and ensured all attendees got full experience!

10 fun themes for almost any event:

• Rainbow (Rhythm Rainbow Dance Party)
• Wild About Rhythm (Jungle Jam)
• Disco Skate Party (Disco anything!)
• Fruit Punch Party (All things fruity, fresh, colorful, summery) 
• Candy Carnival (All things sweet)
• Out of this World (Rhythm Space Jam)
• Dance Grooves & Game Time (Rotation of games incorporating dance)
• Splash Bash (Rhythm Splash Bash - all things water, beach, hawaiian)
• Princesses, Villains & Magic...Oh My! (Disney-esque)
• Bloomin’ Boogie (floral, garden, sunny, happy)
• Our Twirl to Go downloads are a fun resource for activities or themes too!

We hope this has inspired you to come up with a fun theme to kick off your new season!

In Episode 24,  we're talking all things Twirl and sharing what’s new, what’s changed and also what it means for the original Twirl program. We’ve listened to your feedback over the past 4-5 years and this update reflects many of those requests.

Twirl is our preschool program that we like to describe as a dance party in your classes once per month. It fits into your existing curriculum and serves as a supplement with creative, outside the box activities for your tiniest dancers. It includes adorable characters that your dancers can relate to, catchy rhymes and a really fun activity book for each dancer. 

Updated Features:

• New boy character Diego! Every Twirl activity will now include optional variations for boys, along with an image of Diego that your dancers can relate to. 
• Twirl is now 3 levels - Pink, Lilac & Yellow
• Streamlined activities across all 3 levels to follow the same theme on same lesson, making it easier for studios using all 3 levels when planning and decorating for Twirl week.  
• We removed the Find-it-Fun page added a space on each activity page for the dancers to receive a special sticker once they’ve accomplished that activity. We will provide you, the teacher, with sheets of stickers that coordinate with each of the activities and each Twirl week, you’ll give each dancer a sticker of achievement for their book.  
• Our most requested update is that we will include 3 images for you to use to promote Twirl at your studio, as well as 3 social posts including the image and text. 
• We're including more ideas for studio decor based on each of the themes that can really help set the tone as soon as the kids walk in the room. And, we are planning on adding an optional step and repeat banner for TWIRL studios that you can use in your studio for Twirl weeks or all the time even! 
• Lastly, we’ve added lots of new song suggestions for each of the activities and themes. 

We are so excited about these new features! This Fun + Fresh update will launch this weekend on our website and the new packs will be ready to ship in September.

So, what does that mean for the original Twirl packs?  We have placed all remaining stock on sale while supplies last. A few suggestions for using these books

• Short 8-10 week sessions in the spring after you have closed out classes for the season. 
• Summer dance camps! You can easily get through all the lessons in a 3-5 day camp and the kids will have a fun book/souvenir to take home with them. 
• Buy one set to have at the studio, we use the lessons all the time during summer dance camps, dance and play parties and even just in class. 

Twirl Lilac is sold out and Pink and Yellow are not far behind. There’s a pretty good supply of Aqua, so if this is something you’re interested in, this is the best time to get them. Once they are gone, we will not do another reprint.

If you’ll be at Dance Teacher Web in Vegas, stop by our booth to say hi!

In episode 23, we are back from our short summer break and recovered from our crazy recital week. Now we are ready to transition into our next season  for our studio AND kick off a new season for Confetti on the Dance Floor!

After our shows ended, we asked our entire studio to consider writing a google review and giving us a 5-star rating.  This was coming off the most exciting time for them, their dancers, and us, and those reviews that came flying in! They are benefiting us in our google rankings like never before. It’s definitely worth trying! 

Transitioning to a New Season 

• We made a mega list of things that have to happen during the 3rd qtr of 2021.
• We are referencing our ongoing "Do Better" list that we maintain year round and working to implement that into our task list for next season.
• In the show, we reference the P Report - it's technically a PPP report and stands for Progress, Plans and Problems. 
• Website and Social Media Update - now is a good time to update all that for your new season - website is a beast but I did get a start on that. Set aside an hour or so each week for the next few weeks so that by end of July you have your website all updated! 
• Do a brain dump and write down everything you know has to happen in the coming few months.  You don’t have to tackle it all, but it gives you a clear picture of what’s ahead and makes it easier to delegate projects. 

NEW PRODUCTS AND CONFETTI UPDATES: You're hearing it here first! We to announce:

•  We are updating and refreshing our TWIRL Preschool program! We will have a promo out soon letting you know about all the new updates! We are super excited and we think you will be too!
• WOW Cards - Our original version is coming BACK and better! Now called WOW Sweet Celebrations, we updated a few cards, kept your faves, and added a strip to write a message. We also added the strip on WOW v2 (now called WOW High Fives & Oh Yeahs). All will be available for purchase soon! 
• We are launching a new course this fall all about recital: Your Fun Big Show! The promo and info for that will launch at our events this summer! We will be have a presale for this course, so stay tuned for that announcement too! 
• We are working on a few more things that are still in testing mode, but we are hopeful we can talk about those soon! 

Summer Events: 

• Dance Teacher Web in Vegas July 23 - 26 (Dani and Becca will be attending and Shelley and Beth will be in charge of our booth!) 
• Rhee Gold’s Dance Life Teacher Conference in Connecticut July 27 - 30 (just Shelley & Beth)

We hope to see you at one of these events!!
