The new year is a great time to get those lists out on your intended goals for the upcoming season and make them happen. Think about what you hope to accomplish for your business and where you hope to take your students. While it may seem daunting at first to try and accomplish everything, go slow, and prioritize! Soon enough you’ll be checking each goal off one by one and meeting your 2020 goals! Here are some ideas to jump-start your list and get you going towards a year of fruitful success for the studio and amazing progress for your students.

Goal-setting is the pre-cursor for getting organized and creating an outline for yourself and your team. Take your time with this and think about things like:

• Where do you want to take the studio?
•  
• How do you intend to increase the studio’s revenue?
•  
• What are the goals for your students’ progress? What role does your faculty play?
•  
• What performance experiences do you want to provide for the dancers this year?
•  
• Are you exposing them to a variety of performance venues?
•  
• Are they performing for the community and outreach programs?
•  
• What does your summer curriculum look like?
•  
• Are there summer intensives?
•  
• Guest teachers and master-classes?
•  
• Trips into the city as a group to take classes?
•  
• What can you realistically provide students while creating exciting and fresh challenges to keep pushing them to progress and experience new things?
•  
• What does the following fall 2020 season look like for you?
•  
• Are you planning on expansion?
•  
• How? 
•  
• Adding faculty?
•  
• Adding to the curriculum?
•  
• OR….do you anticipate the need to down-size the number of classes/teachers to make a profit? While you may have to fine tune these things when the time comes and reassess, it’s good to have a game-plan going in and project ahead on trends you have seen this year and what you anticipate from your initial outline.

Good luck!

See you in the dance studio in 2020!
