In this episode of Rhee Gold's DanceLife podcast, Stacey Morgan and Rhee Gold dive into how dance studio owners can (and must!) evolve with the changing needs of today’s families and dancers. From rethinking class times to better suit working parents, to embracing the rise of homeschool programs and redefining what a "competitive" program looks like—this episode is packed with insights to help you thrive in 2025 and beyond.

They explore:

• Why 5:30 PM is the new 10:00 AM for preschool classes

• How homeschool movement programs are replacing traditional daytime classes

• The importance of offering “middle ground” training options between rec and comp

• Why parents are pushing back on overcommitted competition schedules

• Creative ways to use your studio during downtime (and keep it profitable!)

• Community engagement as a meaningful part of your studio's performance culture

• Letting go of ego and redefining what “success” really looks like

💡 Whether you’re restructuring your programs or just looking to stay ahead of the curve, this is one you won’t want to miss!
