Consulting for dance Education + Leadership

We offer consulting services to help you and your dance business grow and sustain by improving dancer experiences. We offer support for fostering safer dance spaces, and help you create an inclusive dance community that invites everyone into your ballroom. We support diverse partner dancers of all kinds as well as studio owners, event organizers, DJs and teachers.

  • Online or in-person teacher training to help your studio build a more inclusive foundation. We support teachers in creating dance classes that feel fun, safe, and welcoming for every student. Students notice when a space feels unwelcoming or shaped by hierarchy. Build a community that keeps students coming back by empowering teachers to reflect your studio’s values.

  • Get focused 1:1 guidance from Kate and Lou to help guide your dance business journey and organizational obstacles. We can help you problem solve topics like:

    • Student retention

    • Navigating community conflict

    • How to grow your dance scene in an equitable way

    • How to avoid being a cult while still building community

    • How to walk-the-walk of inclusivity and anti-racism, and not just talk-the-talk

  • A code of conduct is a dance community’s agreement to keep each other safe. It’s a public list of rules, ethical standards, attitudes and behaviors that your space stands by. We can help you craft or update this living document that is vital to your dance community thriving.

  • Dance organizers and studio owners need thoughtful, engaging ways to stay connected with the dancers who call their communities home. From event posters and email newsletters to social media and websites, every touchpoint shapes how people experience your dance floor before they ever step onto it. We help dance spaces grow into their full potential by refining your brand vibe, clarifying your marketing strategy, and creating visuals and messaging that truly resonate.
