Why themed preschool dance classes increase dance studio revenue
Do you use themes, or even fairy tales, to teach preschool dance at your studio?
At first glance, themed preschool dance classes may just seem like fun. I’ve even heard the term “fluff.” But themes actually do something big for your studio. They make your program feel more international and professional to parents.
Themes give you and your staff something to talk about month after month. Instead of just enrolling their child in preschool dance, parents get to enroll their child in an experience. Each month, their child’s dance class is transformed into a new adventure, so to speak. And each month, you have something new to talk about in that experience. You can build excitement and anticipation around each new theme.
Themes make your program memorable. They don’t just give you and your staff something to talk about with parents and students; they give parents something to talk about to their friends. That’s free marketing. Themes also help keep your preschool dance classes fresh so that everyone looks forward to dance class month after month—boosting your preschool dance retention rates.
Now let’s talk about skills. Earlier this week, we talked about how parents need to see progression. They need to see that learning is taking place in addition to fun. Well, themes allow your preschool dance teachers to actually work on skills and progressions month after month while keeping class feeling fresh and new. You can think of themes as a way to disguise the technical skills being worked on throughout the year. The imaginative element continues to change, keeping your students’ interest and allowing them to have fun while learning.
This is exactly why the Little Dancer Program releases both themed and fairy tale lesson plan sets every month. We help your preschool program feel effortlessly fresh, intentional, and easy for parents to rave about. We also provide in-depth teacher training within the program. We want your teachers to know exactly how to teach age-appropriate dance skills to your preschool and early childhood dance classes correctly. And that keeps your students progressing as they should.
Have a lovely week,
Ashley and the Little Dancer Team
