Rhee Gold is passionate about dance education and the business of teaching dance. He is a pioneer in the field, launching the first business (and motivational) seminar for dance teachers in the mid-90s and is now the director of the DanceLife Teacher Conference and the DanceLife Retreat Center attracting hundreds of teachers and studio owners from around the world. Gold’s mission is to inspire dance people to appreciate the gift that dance offers all who experience it. He encourages teachers to be unique, make their own mark on the field and to have the confidence to follow the path that best suits their goals for success. His entrepreneurial and leadership skills have had a long-lasting impact on the dance community, he is the author of the Complete Guide to Teaching Dance, served as the publisher of Dance Studio Life magazine for 14 years and has served as the President of Dance Masters of America, the United Dance Merchants of America, the founding co-chair of UNITY and is now the Director of the International Dance Entrepreneurs Association, also known as I.D.E.A. When given the chance to “talk dance,” Rhee is all about it and that’s what this podcast is all about. We’ll crisscross everything about teaching dance from business to classroom success and we’ll definitely hit on the heart and soul of what being a dance teacher is all about.
We are heading into the holidays and that means lots of time to reflect and reassess. Before we know it, January will be here and in today's episode Rhee and Stacey talk about strategic decisions you can make today that will help grow your studio in January and into the future.

"The New Rulebook" by Dr Chris Cheers has an interesting and challenging chapter on the topic of death and how thinking about the end can be the biggest motivator for living a fulfilling life. Today, on the heels of us losing several high profile performers in the past few months, Rhee and Stacey explore what it means to leave a legacy behind and the lessons we can learn by not taking for granted the time we have here on earth.

With the election top of mind, today Stacey and Rhee talk about the importance of having a clear message for your studio. Without a clear message, your customers don't know what you believe in (and therefore may not give you their vote by walking through your studio doors!)
A strong message for your studio, communicated in a way that is easy to understand is the key to building a strong dance community for your studio.
