63. Exactly How I Spark Curiosity & Guarantee Potential New Students

“How do I get my team to step up… without having to watchover their shoulder 24/7?”If you’re feeling like your team isn’t quite getting it,or you’re constantly following up on things, or you can’t switch off because someone might drop the ball…You’re not alone.And here’s the good news: there’s a way to lead your teamwhere things don’t fall apart the second you step away.

Let me tell you about a studio owner I worked with a couple of years ago...She had great programs, talented dancers, solid marketing, but every term she was scrambling for teachers, chasing enrolments, and constantly putting out fires with staff.Her systems were okay. Her branding looked great.But the culture? That was the missing piece. And I get it—because I’ve been there too. And once I really nailed the culture inside my own studio, everything changed.

Term 2 is here - and while things may have settled a little after the break, let’s be honest… it never really slows down, does it? You might still be getting a few late enquiries or trial bookings trickling in. The students are back in class - hopefully refreshed after a well-earned break - and let’s be real, the break was probably just as important for you and your teaching team too.Depending on your calendar, you might be preparing for a mid-year performance, gearing up for exams, starting comp season, or knee-deep in costume orders already!And while we can’t slow the studio down entirely, we can get better at how we manage it. That’s what today’s episode is all about - how to stay on track with your goals, your plans, and your leadership even when everything around you feels urgent.

Now, I know some of you love planning. You’ve got your highlighters ready, your Google calendar open, and a fresh notebook just waiting to be filled. And then there are others of you who loathe it. Planning can feel overwhelming, time-consuming, and let’s be honest - kind of pointless when things change every five minutes in studio life.But here’s what I want to say to both camps - whether you’re a planner or a procrastinator, quarter planning doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, what I’m about to share with you might be the simplest framework you’ve ever tried.And the results?They might just surprise you!

Let’s be honest - most studio owners didn’t start their business to be behind a computer all day. You didn’t step into this role to be buried in admin, putting out fires, or running from one urgent task to the next. You started because you love teaching. You love dance. You love mentoring and making an impact.But as the business grows, that passion often gets buried under responsibility. And I see it all the time. Studio owners who are incredible educators, full of vision - but they’re stuck doing it all themselves, unsure how to step into a true leadership role without stepping away from the classroom.That’s where AI comes in - not to replace you, but to support you................Want to join the Dance AI Membership?[CLICK HERE] to find out more
