i.d.e.a. is committed to supporting studio owners!

As I.D.E.A. members, we navigate together especially in uncertain times. The International Dance Entrepreneurs Association commits to support our members with strategies, approaches and fresh methods to assist in maintaining stability and growth in a new world.

As a result of COVID-19 the recent months have forced dramatic change in our field. At I.D.E.A. we see it as the moment to open new doors and explore the possibilities that will keep us rolling through these times, while we lay the foundation for a brand-new business model of the future. How cool is that?!

It is not about getting back to the norm, it about making dance education better, more meaningful and welcoming to ALL who want to experience our art.

I.D.E.A. welcomes all studio owners, whether 50 or 1500 students are enrolled. We are not a one-size-fits-all association. Our objective is to help members discover what success means to them and then offer the tools and guidance to achieve those goals.

I don’t know what I would have done the past 5 months without the support of this group. And it’s great to know they will be there through whatever may come my way in the next year!
