Gold Alliance
Elevate your dance studio success with expert guidance and a supportive dance studio owner community.
The Gold Alliance is the highest tier of the Alliances. While Rhee Gold is involved in all Alliance programs, he personally attends each Gold Alliance session to provide one-on-one support to every Leader. This program is designed for studio owners who are committed to investing weekly in their growth. You’ll learn from and collaborate with industry experts to refine your leadership skills, achieve financial stability, boost productivity, and lead a motivated, supportive team.
By joining the Gold Alliance, you become part of an intimate group of like-minded studio owners who uplift and support one another. Together, we tackle challenges, share ideas, and develop strategies to help every Leader thrive.
Transform Your Studio; Transform Your Life!
"In August 2020, I took a leap and invested in myself by joining the G.A. accepting an invitation from Rhee. I was excited to learn new strategies and connect with others in the dance studio industry, but I had no idea just how transformative the journey would be. Over the past four years, I have elevated both my business and myself in ways I never imagined. The G.A. has given me a safe space to ask questions, make changes, and create the life balance I had always dreamed of. But the most incredible part has been the community—a group of industry leaders I’m proud to now call friends. We laugh, we cry, and we lift each other up. In a world that can sometimes feel isolating and overwhelming, The G.A. has helped me uncover strengths I didn’t realize I had, and gave me the confidence to truly believe in myself."
