"Our studio has grown from 6 students in 2016 to 570 students with over 960 enrollment. The guidance and support from Rhee Gold and the entire I.D.E.A. community has helped us so much along the way.  We are now planning our 2nd expansion adding 2 more studios for a total of 6 studios!"

"From the tools and seminars that have regularly helped me develop successful programs and procedures in my studio, to the support and advice from other studio owners who "get it" - I would not have the successful studio I do today without IDEA. This community has been a lifesaver over and over!"

"What I found at SOA was bigger and better than I could have expected. It is a group of kind, generous, creative and strong studio owners who go above and beyond to help each other. Under the leadership of Rhee Gold, we are given opportunities to learn, to improve both our teaching and our businesses, and to develop ourselves as individuals. I have developed confidence in myself as a leader, beyond what I have ever felt before - all because of this incredible support system!”
