Dear Friend,

I am not telling you anything you probably don’t already know. But while interviewing many studios we found out a fascinating common thread. Studios that are successful have realized one ingredient that has made all the difference. And here it is:

This may sound over simplified, but it is true. Once anyone experiences the joy of dance, they are hooked. Remember what it felt like when you ‘flew’ across the studio doing step, step, jete. You felt like you were flying.

Rule #1 – make sure kids are not scared away by discipline but they connect positivity with your studio. Bring in flow.
