Dance Studio Connection
For dance studio owners who wish to build a stronger dance studio network, the Dance Studio Connection is for you. These “conference/discussion” connections will include talks about dance studio business and how we can build a more supportive community.
Our Topeka, KS meeting was held on Saturday, July 22nd, and it was a great success. We had wonderful discussions and sharing. Our next meeting will be a "mini-connection" over lunch. It will be held Friday, October 6th from 11:30am-1:30pm in Lawrence at Johnny's Tavern on 6th and Wakarusa. The meeting will be entitled "10 Hard Learned Facts about Owning a Dance Studio". You may purchase lunch at Johnny's Tavern (please do not bring your own lunch). Sign ups through pointbdance.com ONLY.
Our next big meeting/conference will be held over winter break. Date and location TBD.
