Helping dance studio owners strengthen teaching,
keep students enrolled, and
create new personal income opportunities.
Dance Studio By Design helps studio owners strengthen the business behind the classroom—from hiring and faculty expectations to recital planning, student achievement, retention, and studio leadership.
Created by Jann Davis—a former Greater Boston dance studio owner, dance competition pioneer, and public educator—Dance Studio By Design turns decades of firsthand experience into practical resources and new opportunities for today’s dance educators.
Parents are asking different questions now.
Today’s parents are not simply asking what dance costs. They are deciding whether dance is worth the time, travel, scheduling, and commitment it requires.
Dance Studio By Design helps studio owners demonstrate that value through stronger teaching, clearer communication, better retention strategies, and student achievement models that allow families to see and understand their child’s progress.
