Dance Friends Are The Best Friends

April 08, 2021 • Becca Moore and Dani Rosenberg • Season 1 • Episode 15

In Episode 15, our Studio Owner BFF Christy Curtis, owner of CC&Co Dance Complex in Raleigh, NC, is with us, and we're sharing a little about her, our friendship and how she inspires and motivates us!

Christy has trained some of the most incredible dancers and choreographers: Martha Nichols, Ariana Dubose, Kirsten Russell, Sarah Pippin and Jake Tribus to name a few! She is so well respected in our industry for her energetic and outgoing personality as well as her passion, grit and true love of dance! We met on a Break The Floor teacher retreat in Hawaii and quickly our studios were similar size and mindsets with many of the same issues and goals for studio growth!

Over the years, our friendships and our businesses have grown, changed and leveled up! We leaned on each other greatly during covid. We are always learning, educating ourselves and wanting to make all aspects of our businesses stronger! We continually motivate and inspire each other!

We discuss the Darren Hardy podcast and how Christy starts her day with the Darren Daily. Christy discussed how she motivates her team, especially the past year during covid.

ID staff strengths and lean into their high achieving abilities
Vulnerability - there is a lot I don’t know and I share that often
Trust staff and let them co create and own their project
Lots of Instagram shares, staff weekly update through MailChimp, live resources document, SLACK channel, gratitude channel, teacher training and get togethers

We love how quickly and efficiently Christy makes decisions and takes action. She shares that it goes along with trust and that she will move quickly if she believes in the person, product or idea. She also gets bored easily so loves to try new things, is OK if something doesn't work out, and always thinking ahead. She discusses using assistants to keep her organized so she can stay on task, even though it is hard!

To stay motivated, she loves talking with her dance friends, learning new ways to operate, joining like-minded, high level achiever groups: MTJGD, DH Hero Journey, The Locality (locally in Raleigh), podcasts on every morning, finding time to get away, travel, music, clothes, art scene. She has had an executive coach for 7 years, always working on weaknesses.

We talk about our get togethers/trips/zoom calls and phone check ins.

To learn more about Christy, check out the Confetti Conversation we had with her a couple years ago on our blog.

Christy is such a great friend and inspiring human, and she motivates and inspires us daily! So, take our advice (and Darren Hardy’s) and FIND AND HANG OUT WITH AWESOME PEOPLE!

Remember….Dance Friends are the Best Friends!
