Because great teachers don’t just teach…

They Learn.
They Refine.
They Grow.

And that’s exactly what this day is about.

Creating Exceptional Dance Educators So Studios Can Thrive

Because great choreography doesn’t build great studios.

Great teachers do.

Listen to the Podcast

Coming in weekly to share tips, tools + strategies I use in my 

dance studio classes & studio to help you in yours. 

The Quiet Struggle No One Talks About

Can we be real?

Most dance educators weren’t trained in classroom management, communication, or leadership — they were trained in technique.

So what happens?

  • Classes feel chaotic or draining

  • One or two students take all the energy

  • Corrections land awkwardly (or not at all)

  • Parents don’t understand the why behind what you’re teaching

  • Teachers lose confidence

  • Studio owners stay stuck filling gaps, fixing problems, and being the safety net

Everyone is trying their best — but the system isn’t supporting them.

And when classrooms feel shaky, studios can’t scale.

Here’s the Truth 

When educators feel confident in the classroom:  

Students are engaged - Parents trust the process - Teachers stay longer and

Studio owners can finally step back and run the business, and not the day to day.

Classroom Confidence is the Foundation.

What I Do

I help dance educators and studio owners build confident, well-managed classrooms — so every student thrives, teachers lead with clarity, and studio owners can grow without burnout.

I don’t teach choreography.

I teach how to run a room.

That includes:

  • Classroom management for mixed levels

  • Language that builds trust and focus

  • How to give corrections that empower students

  • Engaging every student — not just the loudest or strongest

  • Communicating with parents in real time

  • Teaching life skills through dance

  • Building teacher presence, authority, and warmth

This is the difference between surviving a class and leading it.

What Happens If Nothing Changes?

If educators aren’t supported in how they teach — not just what they teach — then:

  • Teachers burn out or leave

  • Studio owners stay trapped in daily operations

  • Parents question the value

  • Students become disengaged

  • and studio growth stalls

And the studio continues to rely on the owner to hold it all together.  And that’s not sustainable.
