Comment on What should I write about to advertise my dance school in the local press? by Rosemary P

The local paper will not print articles that advertise your dance school. That’s what they have paid ads for.

What they will print are articles that are of interest to their readers. You have an ideal opportunity with the start of Strictly in the next couple of weeks. Write an article that comments on the popularity of the show and how it’s raised people’s interest in dancing. Talk about the fitness benefits of dancing and the social benefits. Come across as an expert on how good dancing is for people.

Another angle on it may be the journey that you have made in setting up your school. Did you enter dance competitions? Do your pupils enter competitions? What is their/your experience compared with the glitz and glamour of Strictly?

Good luck!

Comment on Any good dance schools on Long Island for an 18yr old? by lizardmomma

I wish you had said where on the Island….I live in Ronkonkoma and if you are anywhere close to there may I suggest you look into Roseland School of dance (there is one in Oakdale too). We don’t do modern dance but there is a true adult jazz class(youngest girl in class is around 19-20 oldest is close to 50 and there are close to 30 of us in class). I am taking lyrical for the first time and my class ranges from me (32) to middle school. Since there are so many dance schools you can practically find one on every corner, I would call the closest one to you and ask for adult classes. I will tell you, if you have to take a "teen" class like I’m doing it’s not so bad, I’m also starting ballet for the first time and I’m dancing with kids as young as 10 and I don’t care, it’s about learning the dance style not who is dancing with you. We aren’t a competition school but you can still learn as much as you care too. It’s a relaxed place with good teachers who I have learned a lot from over the last 2 years of taking classes with them (jazz & hip hop)

I don’t live in that area, but I’m 20 and I take all my dance classes at the local community colleges. Right now I’m taking hip-hop, but my school offers ballet, jazz, polynesian, flamenco, middle eastern, swing… tons of different classes. Check out the community colleges in your area.

Comment on does any one know any dance schools or academies in philadelphia? by Lee

You have the Rock school and Koresh Dance. Two very famous dance schools. I do think they have programs for little ones there too. For a three year old it would be creative movement. I think they are even too young for pre-ballet, but I am not sure.

Comment on what are some good dance schools or colleges in california? by drip

For colleges: you must audition for the dance department in order to major or minor in dance at any college. You will need to be accepted into the school academically too.

Realize that most dancers already have years of training at the age of 17. My daughter is a dance major in college. It is a tough audition and the program takes a lot of work and talent.

Make sure you know audition dates for the college.

Hi Dani! I had a roommate last year that’s mother owned a dance school and my response to your question is: is there a certain area in California that you want to practice? If you do (or even don’t) check out California College Search. From here you can look at colleges by zip code or city, type or name of the college, or by the degree, dance, you would like to go into. When you find a college(s) you are interested in fill out the corresponding form and they will send you free information about their program, price, etc. Good Luck!

Comment on What are good dance schools that teach hip hop in Las Vegas? by MiMi

MiMi — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 05:24:59 +0000

Well, just go to http://www.yelp.com/ , search "dance studio", enter your zip code or city and state, and click search. It’s the best local businesses/reviews site ever, and it’s very popular so you’re gonna get a lot of reviews. If the business has a website, it’ll be listed there on its profile. Go to the business’s website and look at the tuition and schedule/calendar. If the site doesn’t have it, call up and ask. Don’t email because they rarely answer. If they do, they take weeks.
Hope I helped! Good luck!

Love, MiMi
XOXO

Depends where you are and what style you want to do? We’re in Adelaide and if you want to try Hip Hop, R&B, Break or Jazz Funk, then PURE FUNK DANCE might be what you’re looking for. C3 dance studio at Unley, in Adelaide, has just opened and as well as PURE FUNK classes, it also has Salsa, Latin, Buchata and Zumba through Latin Dance Nation. http://www.purefunk.com.au or pure funk friends on FACEBOOK.
