You’ll walk away with strategies you can immediately implement, plus the motivation to actually make them happen.

Stepping away from the daily grind isn’t just a treat—it’s a necessity. Give yourself the space to breathe, reflect, and see your business from a fresh perspective.

You’ll return re-energized, refocused, and ready to tackle the year ahead.

CEO of the DSOA,
Olivia Mode-Cater

“I know how hard it can be to step away from your studio. The emails don’t stop, the to-do list doesn’t shrink, and it feels like there’s never a ‘good time.’ But I also know this: every single time our Inner Circle members take that leap and join us in person, they say the same thing—‘I didn’t realize how much I needed this.’

That’s why I’m so excited about our January retreat in Scottsdale. We’ve designed an experience that blends big-picture strategy with tangible, actionable steps you can take home and put to work right away. Plus, there’s something so energizing about being in a room full of people who share your challenges, celebrate your wins, and push you to dream bigger.

This is your chance to pause, reconnect with your purpose, and chart a clear, exciting path forward for your studio. I can’t wait to see you in Scottsdale and be part of the breakthroughs that are waiting for you there.” – Olivia

Lisa-JanRSVP2026

Program Director of the Inner Circle, Lisa DeMaio

“I’ll be honest—our last retreat set the bar sky-high. Everyone left saying it was the best we’ve ever done. And you know me—I took that as a challenge. This January in Scottsdale? We’re raising it even higher.

This isn’t just another event on your calendar. It’s three unforgettable days designed to push you further than you thought possible—a perfect blend of big ideas, honest conversations, and those “aha” moments that change everything.You’ll connect deeply with your Inner Circle family, gain tools you can put into action immediately, and walk away with a vision that feels both exciting and doable.

If you’re on the fence, here’s my advice: don’t miss this one. Every retreat gets better, but this one? It’s going to set a new standard. I want you in that room, fully present, soaking up every ounce of growth, connection, and inspiration we’ve planned.

Let’s make this your breakthrough moment. I can’t wait to see you in Scottsdale. 💫” – Lisa

After our 2.5 days together, you’ll walk away with the inspiration, motivation, and practical skills and resources you need to create actionable plans that will drastically improve…

Here's What Our IC Members Said About Our July 2025 In Person Retreat:

Testimonial 1-3

"The best ever!! Every speaker was so perfect for what we are dealing with right now. The retreat was so well rounded, fun, and good use of our travel time without burning us out. I also loved that everyone was invited to line dance. So fun!! Well done team!! I came home excited to jump back into my studio and share what I learned."

Testimonial 1-2

"Clearly a lot of hard work was put into the retreat! It's truly one of the reasons I stay with Inner Circle and DSOA. There has been no degradation to the DSOA since the CEO change - that's impressive. Generally you can expect those to change slightly, in my opinion - it's got even better!"
