Why Dance Studio Owners Are Tuning In: A New Look Inside the Dance Studio Scaled Podcast

The world of dance studio ownership has changed dramatically. What once relied on passion, long hours and intuition now demands stronger leadership, clearer systems and a more strategic approach to growth. Dance Studio Scaled was created in response to that shift — a dedicated podcast for studio owners who want to run their business with confidence, control and a sense of calm.

Across my 30+ years in the dance industry, I’ve built studios from scratch, revived studios that needed direction, grown a flagship location to over a thousand students and led teams of 30+ staff. I’ve learnt what works, what doesn’t and what studio owners truly need to succeed. This podcast brings those insights together in a way that is both accessible and deeply practical.

Each episode is shaped around the real conversations I’m having with studio owners every day — the challenges they’re navigating, the decisions they’re making and the strategies that are helping them gain momentum. Episodes are intentionally designed to be straightforward and action-focused, giving listeners simple shifts they can apply immediately.

Inside the series, you’ll hear discussions on the topics that matter most: strengthening retention, building a sustainable timetable, improving communication, refining studio systems, elevating your marketing foundations, supporting your team, and stepping into the role of CEO instead of being consumed by day-to-day operations. There’s a strong focus on mindset too — because clarity and growth start with how you show up as a leader.

What sets this podcast apart is its grounding in real studio experience. These aren’t theories or broad business concepts. They’re the lessons, patterns and strategies that studio owners across Australia and New Zealand are using right now to grow stronger, more resilient studios. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just clear guidance delivered in a direct, conversational style.

Whether you listen during your morning routine, on a walk, or while resetting the studio between classes, you’ll walk away with practical direction and a renewed sense of what’s possible for your business.

If you’re ready to build a studio that feels sustainable, intentional and aligned with your future goals, Dance Studio Scaled is your weekly source of clarity and support. New episodes are released each week and are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and directly through my website. Go to my podcasts page [CLICK HERE]
