You have read countless blog entries here on the DTW Blog and now you have the chance to join me, LIVE, at the 2018 Dance Teacher Web Conference and Expo to discuss some of the most pressing, “hot topics” from the blog as well as topic suggestions from attendees. This important talk session will be providing an open forum peer discussion on the relevant issues we face today as dance teachers and studio owners.
Nothing is too unimportant to discuss. We hope to provide the opportunity where we can all come together as a dance community and come up with ideas, strategies, methods and advice to support each other on the relevant situations, challenges and areas we want to take our businesses, students and ourselves.
We can only grow from learning from one another and while we, as devoted dance teachers and studio owners are solely focused on our students throughout the year, we barely take the time to pause and think about ourselves and how we can work through issues and how to re-inspire and reignite ourselves. Hearing stories and questions posed by peers remind us we are not alone in the dance community as different as our studio models may be. There are always unifying, universal topics, frustrations, successes and road blocks that we similarly face.
I look forward to moderating this discussion and always love to provide objective advice and ideas based on my own experiences. Sometimes a fresh ear and objective new voice is all it takes! So, get ready, bring your questions and let’s have an inclusive discussion where we feel heard, understood, empowered and inspired!
"Blog Talk" Panel Discussion will be held Thursday, August 2nd @ 8:40 a.m. at the Dance Teacher Web Conference & Expo at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas!
