ITC SPECIAL: Building A Dance School Brand That Scales

Get in touch with us directly today [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1922278/fan_mail/new] Your dance school can be amazing in the studio and still struggle to grow online, in new towns, or in your own bank account. We talk with Amy, founder of Dance Concepts in Ireland, about what actually changed when she stopped treating branding like a logo project and started treating it like a parent experience. Her business has grown to 15 locations by bringing ballet, jazz, contemporary, and acro to rural communities that are often overlooked and by making sure every touchpoint says the same thing: confidence and creativity through movement.

EP 49: Dance Work Deserves Credit

Get in touch with us directly today [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1922278/fan_mail/new] A dance school can look effortless from the outside. Behind the scenes it is planning, payroll, safeguarding, parent messages, class schedules, staff cover, marketing, and the emotional load of caring about every kid who walks through the door. That’s why we invited Hazel, founder of Glasgow Dance Academy, to talk about the Scottish Dance Awards and the bigger mission underneath it: giving Scotland’s dance teachers and dance business owners real visibility and recognition for work that too often gets dismissed as “just a hobby."

We sit down with Lauren, owner of Avenue Dance Company in Hampshire and the newer Shining Star Performing Arts, to unpack the exact mindset and execution shifts that help her go from a basic logo and scattered posts to a professional identity parents trust and a business that can actually scale.
