Show Notes

In Episode 12, we are answering recent questions you've sent that we hope are fun and beneficial for everyone!

Do you design a new step and repeat for all your events?
No, but we do create a step and repeat each year in the theme of our year-end show in addition to our Rhythm-branded ones. We also recommend retractable banners. We design these along with our graphic designer, and use our local printer to produce them. We prefer the fabric ones over vinyl. 

How do you store and organize preschool props?
We invested in big white double-door cabinets for each preschool dance room and styled them super cute. They are a challenge to keep organized over time but our preschool teachers are committed to putting things back where they belong after each class. At the beginning of the new season, we go through everything and donate, toss and replenish where necessary. Check out this blog post!

How do you run your Twirl program and how often do you hold Twirl weeks?
Twirl is our fun preschool program: Learn more here! It is not a curriculum, but a fun supplement that adds a fun dance party each month in class! Our preschool team plans our Twirl calendar at the beginning of season. We use Mailchimp to communicate the dates, themes, reminders and recaps (including photos taken from each class during Twirl week). Check out #rhythmtwirl! 

Do you list invitation-only classes publicly on your schedule?
Yes and we note they are invitation only. We have a full description of each class type to educate our customers on what we offer. Advertising them sparks interest to learn more. We are transparent with our process for selecting dancers and encourage them to work hard if they are interested.

How often do you meet with your team?
We meet every Monday with our key staff, including company directors, studio manager, convention/comp registration manager and COO/HR - Shelley (who also runs Confetti!) This meeting often leads to additional one-off meetings. We communicate regularly with our full staff through Basecamp , and we hold several full staff meetings per year either in person or on Zoom.

You’ve been advertising your Frozen recital, what you will be doing this year?
We made the decision in the fall to hold a year-end show of some form and were confident in getting our families excited about it, even without confirmed details. We were hopeful to use our new local theatre, but created multiple alternate plans. We reached out early to several hotels/convention spaces and found an awesome venue near the studio. We put it on hold and this week, we made it all official and shared the exciting news with our whole studio. The feedback has been amazing, and everyone is so excited we can safely hold our fun shows!
