Studio Owners Helping Studio Owners Thrive

We know what it’s like to be the first one in and the last one out—to juggle teaching, staffing, bookkeeping, and somehow keep smiling for the parents. At DSOA, we’re not some outsider consultant. We’re studio people. We've lived the overwhelm, the isolation, the “I just need a minute” between back-to-back classes. And we’ve found a better way. We’re here to lift you up, give you real support, and help you build the kind of studio—and life—you actually want.

DSOA is a phenomenal resource and extremely beneficial investment that I will continue to make each year in efforts to grow my studio. I gain a ton of knowledge right at my fingertips both from the DSOA team and the other members who are world-wide. How much better does it get than that?

DSOA is such a terrific organization! So glad I joined this new 'family' ... They are here to offer great ideas (and how to implement them), support, encouragement, motivation and so much more! I'm already seeing great results & I cannot wait to see how much more my studio will grow!

DSOA is a fantastic community of like minded Studio Owners who are so willing to share their experiences. Owing a dance studio is not an easy task and being a member of DSOA is definitely a ticket to success!

I love the group because I feel like I have a team now. It's great to have a group of people that understand the challenges Dance Studio Owners face in a unique business environment. I also have so many ideas of what I want to do to build my studio - and the group is helping me map that out, along with a wealth of other information.

I used to think I wanted to run a dance school. It never occurred to me that that translated to running a business as well. The DSOA and SSF program have not only opened my business eyes but gotten me really excited about things I never thought I would be interested in. Things like revenue, retention, marketing and profits. They're not evil words, they're exciting concepts that enhance the experience of all my dancers even more.

I've been greatly inspired by the creative marketing strategies, business streamlining ideas, community of owners uniting together and enthusiasm for helping others achieve their goals.

I love that it's not just about the concepts. The DSOA gives you the tools and technology to put the concepts into action.

The group is full of fresh ideas and new friends to share in my profession. I think no one fully understands a Dance Studio Owner unless you are or have been one 🙂

I love and appreciate all the wonderful information given by everyone here. We always knew there was a great dance community but the DSOA has brought everyone together in such a great way. No one know what a dance teacher goes through except a dance teacher!
