YOU’RE STRESSED ENOUGH, DON’T ADD SALT TO THE WOUND
Studio owners all over the world are quarantined or on lockdown due to the Coronavirus. Schools are closed (which means kids are home) and as a result, so are many dance studios.
If you’re stuck at home you may think you’ve got enough bandwidth to catch every Dance Studio Rescue Summit Session live in real time. But once you factor in life, kids and random responsibilities that inevitably pop up, carving out 8 uninterrupted hours of focused alone time might be a challenge.
JUST ONE NEW PIECE OF INFORMATION OR CRITICAL STRATEGY COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STUDIO THAT SURVIVES COVID-19 & ONE THAT COLLAPSES IN THE CHAOS
So why run the risk of missing a single second of the Dance Studio Rescue Summit?
Invest in yourself and the freedom to watch (and re-watch) ALL 8 hours of crisis management content specifically tailored to dance studio owners, at your own pace and on your own time.
Get immediate access to all summit recordings when you join 1,000+ other studio owners in the Dance Studio Owners Association.
