Success Tips for Dance Instructors

Posted by CpuWizShot | Posted in , , | Posted on 8:15 AM


Many studios offer a free introductory lesson, after which many students choose a “pay as you go” plan. However, most dancing instruction schools encourage a per-month or per-semester program. There are a number of factors that studio owners and managers said are critical to success in the dance instruction business. Here they are:

  1. Be an effective, enthusiastic communicator, to take advantage
    of opportunities to network and speak to the public.
  2. Equip the studio with great flooring, the right lighting, and the
    proper height ceilings (so dancers can “lift” one another).
  3. Hire hands-on, people-oriented instructors.
  4. Create solid advertising programs to keep the studio’s name in
    front of the public.
  5. Offer as much as possible under one roof, while maintaining
    high quality.
  6. Hold exceptional, exciting events.
  7. Be a good listener and be open to suggestions from
    instructors and students.
  8. Develop business savvy (including a plan for sustained
    growth and profitability, with built-in flexibility if it doesn’t
    appear to be working).
