The New Dance Season Says Hi!
Lay back and enjoy the heat of the sun while it’s still here. Drink your mimosas and enjoy a dip in the water while you’re at it! Summertime is for the adults, too. While you're sipping that glass though, remember that September has a way of arriving faster than you think.
As summer camps are quieting down and every family is scheduling one last trip to enjoy the warm breeze, you’re finally catching your breath before you begin prepping for your dance studio’s upcoming season. Ease into it now so you don’t have to rush the whole thing in September.
Touch some grass before the new dance season
Like we said, enjoy summer. But take a moment to reflect on your whys. Why you opened your dance studio and everything you've built since. That’s passion fuel for the new dance season - new choreography themes, fresh ideas, and a vision for the season ahead.
Time out: Ever wondered how to balance enjoying the rest of the month while setting your studio up for success? Our article Summer Strategies for Dance Marketing shares a few more ways to make the most of your remaining vacation.
POV: You’re a new parent googling dance studios
Let’s get honest with ourselves. Would a new dance parent register their children if they saw your website? Is it updated? Are the links working well? Are you able to navigate through it smoothly? If you’re not sure what to look for, we put together a guide where we talk about the website check-ins every studio should make before registration season. If you don’t buy into your own presentation, who will?
Your website should be parent-ready as the new dance season begins. Post the schedule in advance and put your registration links front and center so it’s super easy to sign up for the season.
Oh, and celebrate your students and achievements too! Not only does it build credibility, but it also invites prospective families to feel the warmth, personality, and energy of your studio before they ever sign up.
Slow and steady…you know how it goes!
You don’t have to do it all in one go. That produces half-baked ideas and rushed results. Create a workflow that will make the rest of the season easier for you: great performances aren't created during tech week. They're built over months of classes, corrections, and rehearsals. The same goes for making sure the new dance season sails smoothly.
Prep, prep, prep. Schedule those weekly emails or create templates so you don’t have to stay in the studio after hours just writing when you could be at home resting. Update your teacher bios, videos and blogs, and class schedule so you have fewer questions to deal with. Gather parent testimonials and prep your registration reminders so September starts like clockwork.
Slow and steady gives you solid ground to stand on once the chaos starts. A few intentional steps throughout August will only make the September kickoff much smoother.
Your audience is hungry for content
Social media check. Does it feel alive? Prospective parents haven't stopped looking for studios to send their kids to and your FaceBook, Instagram, and other socials are part of the decision process.
Post those summer memories to show your community what you’ve built and allow them to celebrate with you while new families scroll through and absorb it all.
This is the time to (re)introduce who shapes your studio’s vibe: your team, your amazing dancers, and the parents who champion your studio every season. Humanize your studio and make new families dream of being a part of it.
Refreshed and ready for the new dance season?
Enjoy the rest of summer and recharge while you still can. Sleep in a little or go on that weekend trip you’ve been planning for months. Because once the new dance season begins, things won’t slow down.
Before you blink and realize it’s registration day, give yourself one last gift to end the vacay-days: prep a little now so September doesn't begin in survival mode.
The best preparation isn't doing everything yourself. It's knowing what deserves your attention and what can be trusted to someone else.
