The 44-Week Dance Studio Success Plan

 Currently dance studios use a model of following a yearly school calendar. Our plan for a 44-Week Dance Studio Success Plan™ in the USA and globally, calls for moving dance education into a model that promotes dance, introduces new ownership concepts based on demographics, and allows a sustainable profit margin. The plan is part of the yearly membership for AADI.

You And Your Faculty Understand WHAT To Teach

But Do You Understand The HOW And WHY?​

​

There are Four Modules For Our Plan. Each one explores and offers suggestions based on the interrogatives of dance studio ownership, the WHY you should do it and the HOW to implement our plan into your dance studio.

​

Module #1

• Setting Up Your Yearly Schedule

• Days Of The Week Your Facility Offers Classes

• Optimum Time Frame

• Establishing Your Curriculum Guidelines And Student Achievement Goals

 

Setting Up Your Yearly Schedule

Whether you have one room, are a mobile program, or are an established well-known dance studio, you must share your clients with public/private education, children.

​​

Defining where most of your students fit in to your schedule needs to be carefully researched. The easiest place to do that is your local school district or state educational office. They have statistics as to how many male versus female students there are, what the current enrollment is, and what the projection is for the next 3 to 5 years.

​​

Basically, you can offer classes during the daytime hours to children with caregivers, moms, daddies, nannies and grannies. Usually, those hours are limited to the morning hours when older siblings are in school and before nap time. Both parents work in many areas, keep in mind you may want to offer one after 5:00 PM class during your early evening hours, for children whose parents’ work. Saturday mornings are still a favorite if they begin at 8:30 AM and do not interfere with other youth sports for older siblings.

​

Schedules begin at 3:45 PM, 4:00 PM, or 4:30 PM, with the heaviest days you should anticipate classes being filled on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Mondays and Fridays, parents may use for holidays-get-away mini vacations. Saturdays are available usually until 12 Noon. Sunday afternoons are available from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM for preschool to kindergarten classes.
