In this week's exclusive behind-the-curtain and celebration of Dance Studio Life in 2021, the incredible Kayleigh Crocetto from Dance Central joins the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast to share: How she pulled off her most profitable Summer ever in 2021, and the critical numbers she believes every studio owner should be keeping eye on. “I was very pleasantly surprised when I recently went through all of our numbers. I found out that we had our best summer ever based on revenue, even though at the time I didn't feel like we were rising up to the expectations that I had set for myself.” The huge mindset shift she noticed when taking time to reflect on her incredible progress over the last 5 years in business. “Track your revenue, track your student numbers and track your wins!” Her experiences in taking the leap to expand her 2-person team and getting the right people into the right roles. “I had been running myself ragged trying to do all of the things, and I have learned over time that when we try to do all of the things, we're not going to do any of them to the level of quality that we would want.” Kayleigh also opens up about the decisions she made that allowed her studio to grow and thrive in the midst of a personal health crisis that put her out of action completely when she least expected it.

Rhee Gold is a motivational powerhouse and entrepreneur. He is dedicated to inspiring dance teachers to provide positive instruction and curriculum amidst the sometimes negative edge of the growing world of the competition dance circuit. We came to know him a few years ago through his Facebook page. Positive Dance Moms (and Dads) created in response to the popular but controversial Lifetime Television program Dance Moms. The page, updated daily with inspirational posts, reminds us all of the positive role we do and can play in our children’s lives as dancers. When we discovered Rhee, little did we know the extent of his true force of inspiration. He is the publisher of Dance Studio Life magazine, the producer of DanceLifeTV.com, the founder and director of DanceLife Teacher Conference, DanceLife Retreat Center and Project Motivate. As the dance field's first motivational speaker, he has traveled the world presenting motivational and business seminars, as well as keynote addresses for conferences and conventions. His philosophies for the classroom, inspiring students, successful studio ownership and respect for all dance teachers, along with his unmatched passion for dance education have changed the way thousands of teachers and school owners perceive and approach their profession.
