Would you rather keep a student at your studio for a 6-week session, one semester, one year, or until they graduate from high school? Until they graduate, of course! Retaining our students is a win for the student, the family, the teacher, and the studio owner. So HOW do we keep our students from leaving our studios? It comes down to the STRUCTURE of our programs and the CULTURE of our studio life. Listen to this week's episode as Robin and Casey discuss how to create a dance studio where students and families are super-glued for the long haul!
