Improve Staff and Customer Communication

As the leader of your dance business, you want your employees to perform at their best—and you have more influence over their performance than you may think. A self-confident employee who knows his or her role in the success of the business performs better. Employees who view their jobs as insignificant will reflect those attitudes through their work. It is up to you to create an atmosphere for success, bettering their work performance, the atmosphere at work, and the entire image of your studio.
