This podcast will provide dance studio owners worldwide value and insights into how to create, grow and run a successful dance or performance studio.
On this episode, we'll be talking about the one of THE most things to focus on at your studio all year around - Retention!
Anyone who has taken our mini email course will know JUST how important retention is to my school. I've said time and time again that it was the main reason why my school was able to grow as large as it has.
So today, Cam and myself will be sharing with you 3 awesome tips for retaining your students in the new dance year.
The audio for this podcast is from a retention video that originally featured on our LEDSO group and actually has 5 tips instead of just three.
So, if you'd like to see the full video and all 5 tips, feel free to apply to join the League of Extraordinary Dance Studio Owners Group on Facebook.
Joining is free of course and you'll gain access to hundred of other like minded studio owners, exclusive or early-access content from us at Dance Studio Excellence, plus a whole lot more!

Hi everyone and thank you SO MUCH for checking out this episode of the Dance Studio Excellence Podcast!
This podcast (I hope!) will provide dance studio owners worldwide value and insights into how to create, grow and run a successful dance or performance studio.
On this episode, I’ll be taking a closer look at human resources - otherwise known as hiring new teachers - and the steps and points I like to consider when completing the process.
This podcast is the result of some lovely folks in our always incredible League Of Extraordinary Dance Teachers group asking me follow ups on hiring after listening to the Dance Studio Excellence Podcast Episode number 9 - Get Out Of The Teaching Trap & Be The CEO Of Your Studio!
If you don’t have time to check out the episode, I will do a brief recap in this podcast, but it’ll be a massive benefit to you and your studio in the long term if you can listen to DSEP 09 as well.
Hiring the right person the first time can make a HUGE difference to your studio. So avoid those doubtful hires and let’s get going!

Thank you SO much once again for joining me on The Dance Studio Excellence Podcast! Catch you soon!

Hi everyone and thank you SO MUCH for checking out this episode of the Dance Studio Excellence Podcast!
This podcast (I hope!) will provide dance studio owners worldwide value and insights into how to create, grow and run a successful dance or performance studio.
On this episode, I’ll be assisting you with something that has proven quite difficult with many of the studio owners I’ve spoken to.
It’s about getting out of what I call the “Teaching Trap” - where a studio owner feels they are too valuable (read: ‘Irreplaceable’) in their teaching role and this causes the crucial responsibilities of a studio owner to fall by the wayside.
Well the great news is, it CAN be done!
Not only that, I’ll be walking you through the main steps to transition yourself from 60+ hour workweek dance teacher/owner, to true CEO of your Studio where YOU set the hours!

It can be a very tough process to let go or scale back your teaching, but it’s up to you to make sure you do what is best for the sake of your students and the future of your studio!
And keep in mind that this isn’t to say you can never go back to teaching - once you’ve brought on some extra help and things are running smoothly, you can always come back to fulfill your original passion! :)
