Pathways: Finance 101
Understand your numbers, eliminate financial guesswork, and build a studio that supports your life — not the other way around.
Running a dance studio shouldn’t feel like a constant math problem you’re afraid to look at.
for so many studio owners, finances are
the heaviest mental load:
Wondering if you’re actually profitable
Feeling anxious before payroll hits
Avoiding reports because they feel confusing or overwhelming
Making decisions based on gut instinct instead of clarity
Finance 101 is the calm, supportive reset your studio finances have been asking for.
This Pathway gives you a clear, step-by-step system to finally understand your money — without spreadsheets taking over your life or shame about where things currently stand.
You don’t need to be “good with numbers.”
You just need the right framework.

- The Inner Circle coaching program
