We get it. You’re a dancer and an instructor, not a “computer person.” But really, we all need to be tech savvy these days, and thankfully doing so doesn’t require any technical expertise or programming lingo anymore. At least not if you know the right people and use the right tools to your advantage. Some […]

It should also be a time for your studio to bring in enough revenue for you to see a profitable start to the New Year. In our first article, we discussed how online ticket sales and including […]
