Where They Start

 
 

Where They Start is Often Where They Stay

You've probably heard this before. These days, children seem to be starting ballet at a younger and younger age. There's good reason for that. While taking ballet as a young child can help to prepare a student for later on, it can do a lot for you business-wise. It's true: where they start is often where they stay. So don't discount the importance of your early childhood ballet or dance program in terms of business. 

Is your preschool ballet and pre-ballet program doing all it can to:

  1. Bring students in the door?

  2. Instill a love for ballet in students?

  3. Teach children proper, age-appropriate technique and classroom etiquette?

  4. Communicate with parents to show them the value in their child’s ballet class?

  5. Inspire and allow your teachers and assistants to continue to learn and grow?

Happy Dancing!
