Your child. Your decision.
Finding a place and community to dance with is a beautiful thing and I'm so glad you want your child to be part of that, but you need to be aware of how the system works so you can make an educated decision to choose what is best for your child!
As a professional dancer and mobile dance educator, I have been hired by countless studios and I have all the information you need summarized in a simple acronym:
A.P.P.L.E.
A - An incentive
P - Price Point
P - Programs
L - Location
E - Educator
These five things are your cheat sheet to size up any studio, intensive, or trainee program.
Your First Step
Take this time to jot down your thoughts on what you are looking to get out of a studio - price, community, intensity of the training, anything that comes to mind. As you watch the video, compare what you had in mind to my five points of the studio decision process.
