How to Bring Dance to Schools and Change the "Dance Demographic" with Ella Rosewood
Being a dance teacher or studio owner, you want to do everything and be everything for your students. You find yourself taking workshops and courses to learn as much as you can, so you can bring it all to them. But many times it feels like you’re “pretending to teach” instead of actually teaching. Well… I have a solution for you! Ella Rosewood is the creator of Crelata, “fun and sequential on-demand dance classes for kids, designed by dance education experts.” And in episode #220 of the Dance Boss Podcast, we sit down to dissect her business.

The Power of Networking and Asking for Help with Sarah Haslock-Johnson
Every dancer is different. Every dancer’s needs are different. A great way to find out what your specific body needs, is through genetic testing. And for dancers and athletes, DanceRX is bridging that gap between science and dance. DanceRX is “a health and wellness resource to enable and support the advancement of the dancer’s education through a personalized experience,” and today I get to sit down with the woman behind the idea, Sarah Haslock-Johnson. In episode #219 of the Dance Boss Podcast, Sarah and I dive deep into the journey she took from idea to actualization. We also talk about the power of networking, challenges Sarah faces in business, some 5-year goals for DanceRX, and much more.   Click here for show notes  https://bit.ly/DBPShowNotes    Did you see Apolla Performance get a deal on Shark Tank?

Will Your Community Trust You if Your Program is "Expensive"? with Cynthia Paniagua
Are you a dancepreneur who is having a hard time raising your prices? You want to serve your community and make sure everyone has access. And you’re so used to working with the bare minimum and being the “starving artist.” But when you look at the life you want to live, the life you are working toward, that mindset doesn’t actually align with it.  You wonder, “will my community still trust me, if my program is expensive?’ In episode #215 of the Dance Boss Podcast, I sit down with Cynthia Paniagua, dancer, choreographer, and dance educator, and we dive into just that.

Teaching with Intentionality
Today I am sharing a training workshop I did for DSO Connect in the summer of 2020.  My presentation was originally called “systemizing your dance classroom,” but as I listened to it, I realized that it was really about teaching with intentionality.  In episode #212 of the Dance Boss Podcast, I dive into what it means to be a dance educator, not a dance teacher, differentiating instruction, and creating lesson plans to foster your student’s needs. It is value packed with actionable steps you can use to help make your classes meaningful.   Click here for show notes  https://bit.ly/DBPShowNotes    Did you see Apolla Performance get a deal on Shark Tank?

Scaffolding Your Dance Classes
Beginning with the end in mind, like any good meal prep you need a plan. The same holds true for dance class prep.  Think of the combination as your recipe and the rest of the class (warm-ups, across the floor, etc.) as your ingredients.  In episode #211 of the Dance Boss Podcast, I talk all about scaffolding your dance classes and structuring them in a way that helps students learn deep and also saves you time on the planning end.   Click here for show notes  https://bit.ly/DBPShowNotes    Did you see Apolla Performance get a deal on Shark Tank?
