Starting a Dance Studio/School


Dance has been a traditional element of many cultures for centuries. Many different styles of dance are taught and practiced around the world, and dance studios are a common type of business where people of all ages can take dance lessons. Starting up your own dance studio might seem daunting, but following this list of steps will help you ensure that you do it correctly.


Settle on a budget. 
Before you continue with any further planning, you need to be well aware of how much you are able to spend on the different elements of owning your own dance studio.
  • Rent/mortgage on a space
  • Utilities for the space
  • Start-up expenses (e.g. renovations, mirrors, seating, storage, paint, equipment)
  • Advertising and marketing
  • Payroll for employees and dance instructors
  • It is possible that you might need to take out a loan or obtain investors to start your business. Know what you are getting into before you officially sign any agreements.
 Decide on a geographic location for your business.
This is important, because your location determines the type of clientele you will attract to your business.
  • Starting your dance studio in a very family-friendly neighborhood will likely bring you many kids, so if you are interested in marketing your dance studio to children, then keep this in mind.
  • Think about what part of town you choose for the location. If you are looking to offer ethnic styles of dance, for example, then opening your studio in an area of town where people of that ethnicity live makes sense.
  • Try to plan for your studio to open in an area where it will be highly visible to the community, such as on a busy road. It may be more expensive, but with traffic driving by constantly, your building is advertising itself to all of the passersby
  •  Consider how much you can afford to spend on renting or buying your dance studio space. If you are in a large city, for example, then renting or buying a space in the downtown area is likely extremely expensive. Look in areas of your town or city where the rates are in your price range.

Research and decide upon what type of business entity you want to be. 
This will vary based on whether you plan to be the only dance instructor in a small studio, you plan to have a business partner, or you plan to hire additional dance instructors.
  • Sole proprietor: an unincorporated business that is run by one individual with no separation between that individual and the business
  • S-Corporation: a type of corporation that can avoid double taxation (e.g. once to the business and once to the shareholders)
  • C-Corporation: a type of corporation that is owned by shareholders but is legally liable for actions and debts
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC): a structure that offers the limited liability of corporations but has the flexibility of a partnership

Decide on a name for your business. 
This is the most important part of your brand and business, because this is what will be shared most often. Be sure that it represents you and your vision for the studio.
  • Dance the Night Away
  • The Tango Studio
  • En Pointe Ballet Company
  • Swing Dance Central
  • Masters of the Dance
  • Premier Dance Studio

Identify your market niche and ideal clientele. 
 There are a variety of niches that you could go into with dance studios, and each niche will bring certain clientele. You need to identify what yours will be.
  • Couples dance lessons
  • Singles dance lessons
  • Children's dance lessons
  • One or two particular dance styles only (e.g. ballet, salsa, tap)
  • Ethnic dance styles (e.g. salsa, flamenco, jazz, folk, street)
  • Common dance styles (e.g. swing, ballroom, jazz)
 Plan your company's vision and mission statements.
Having these statements identified helps to keep you on track as you start up your studio and define short-term and long-term goals.
  • A vision statement outlines the primary goals of your business without giving definitive plans for achieving them. The vision statement helps you and your employees conceptualize the goals of the company.
  • A mission statement is a short statement that helps convey your business's purpose. This statement may change over time, if your business goals become different, and it is intended to clarify what your business will do for both employees and clients.
 Define your brand for your dance studio.
Your brand will represent everything about your business, and it should be consistent across everything that clients and potential clients see.
  • Branding is the equivalent of your promise to your clients. It should come from who you are and what you want to give to you clientele. Your vision and mission statements tie into your brand.
  • Having strong branding leads to having much business success. When people know what to expect from you, they are more likely to trust you.
  • Know what your target niche is and what those dance clients needs, and then tailor your brand to them.
 Choose what services you are going to offer your dance clientele.
This will largely depend on your client niche, so consider this as you decide.
  • Will you offer group dance classes? Private dance classes? Both?
  • What about couples classes? Singles classes? Both?
  • What styles of dance do you plan to teach?
  • Will you have a dance team that will compete?
 Build a website for your business.
 Just as you came up with a marketing and advertising plan that included things like business cards and advertisements in the newspaper, you also need to have a business website.
  • Find a hosting service and a domain name. You can get these together or separately. Your domain name should be the name of your business and, if possible, end in .com.
  • Hire a professional to build a framework and theme for your site or search online to buy these things yourself. There are many pre-made themes available for varying prices. If you choose to buy pre-made themes, be sure to also buy a framework. Genesis Framework is the most recommended, and you can buy it separately from your theme or find a theme that comes with it.

THE DANGER BEHIND SOCIAL NETWORKING


Many many years ago, technology did not give anyone the opportunity to interact with others in the manner it does today; therefore, people had to go outside their comfort zones to meet new individuals. Social networking sites, on the other hand, now allow people to simply sit in front of a computer and stare at it for hours—disregarding face to face interaction. Particularly, Facebook allows individuals to author wall posts (as seen above) where people can write whatever is on their mind.  Whether it be what Sara is doing, what Joe had for lunch, or who Cari loves, it is all publicized to all users of Facebook (unless you’ve made sure that your profile is private and only friends can view your page). Often, users of social networking sites get on their profiles numerous times during the day to “check up” on everyone’s statuses. How can one go on with their day if one is not able to know what everyone is doing? It is the legal, non-threatening way of “stalking” in the twenty-first century.
 A lot of this can relate to one’s maturity level—how one may react when seeing an unfavorable post, comment, photo, etc. For example, if Kyle is dating Kelly and Jeff wrote “hey cutie” on Kelly’s wall, how Kyle will react will depend on his maturity level. Will he just drop it and trust his girlfriend?  Will he start a fight with Jeff?  Or may he take his anger out on Kelly? In some cases, users may even have to get the police involved and file for a restraining order on these uncontrollable, obsessed users. However, restraining orders do not stop everyone. This can cause the situation to reach the maximum, leaving the user that is being harmed in a dangerous position. Surely, any individual should be able to recognize that social networking sites are getting completely out of hand if individuals’ actions are escalading to the extreme. Most, if not all, users of social networking sites are aware of these possible scenarios; however, we all just assume it will not happen to us.
For example:
 Wall Post 1: I am Going out to lunch with my husband
. Wall Post 2: Im doing my homework at home.who will pay me a visit?

SIX THINGS YOU MUST NOT SHARE ON SOCIAL NETWORK

1.Personal Conversations;On Facebook especially, users can send personal messages or post notes, images or videos to another user's wall. The wall is there for all to see, while messages are between the sender and the receiver, just like an e-mail. Personal and private matters should never be shared on your wall.it is very risky.

2.Personal plans:Sharing your social plans for everybody to see isn't a good idea. Unless you're planning a big party and inviting all the users you're connected to, it will only make your other friends feel left out. There are also some security issues at stake here.

3.Company info: You may be dying to tell the world about your new work promotion, but if it's news that could be advantageous to one of your company's competitors, then it's not something you should share. News of a planned expansion or a big project role and anything else about your workplace should be kept private.

4. Family pictures:Social networking sites are a common place for people to share pictures of their families, but if you're one of the 40 percent of users who don't restrict access to your profile, then those pictures are there for everyone to see. It's a sad fact, but there are a lot of predators who use the Internet to stalk their prey. If you post pictures of your family and couple that with information like, "i just gave birth","my husband is out of town this weekend" or "little Johnny is old enough to stay at home by himself now," then your children's safety could be at risk.

 5. Your phone number and address: This one is under security risk. If you share your address and phone number on a social networking site, you open yourself up to threats of identity theft and other personal dangers like burglaries. If you post that you're going on vacation and you have your address posted, then everyone knows you have an empty house. 

6.  Your password: This one really seems like its nothing wrong with it but if it didn't happen, then Facebook probably wouldn't feel the need to list it in the No. 1 slot on its list of things you shouldn't share. Even sharing the password with a friend so he or she can log on and check something for you can be a risk. This is especially true with couples who feel like there's enough trust to share these kinds of things. Here's another scenario for you: You give your boyfriend your Facebook password because he wants to help you upload some vacation photos. A couple of months later, the relationship sours, he turns into a not-so-nice guy and then there's a person out there who doesn't like you and has your login information.
