Grab the tracker and AI prompt guide from the kick-off post first: >> grab it here DAY 2 POST: Behind the Scenes: Setting Up for Class A 15-30 second reel showing 'behind-the-scenes' of what goes into preparing for class before students arrive. ✅️ How to create the reel: 1. Before your next class, prop your phone up on a shelf or ask someone to film (vertical, not horizontal). 2. Film 3-4 short clips (5-10 seconds each): setting up props, turning on music, laying out mats, rehearsing chore, sweeping, or whatever you do before class. 3. End with a clip of kids walking in or the class starting. 4. Edit in CapCut , Edits (free app) or the in-app Instagram Reels editor. Add a trending audio track... don't overthink the editing - even one simple video with trending audio works perfectly. 5. Add text overlay: "Before your little ones arrive…" at the start. >> check out this example for inspiration ✅️ Head to Claude.ai (or your preferred AI tool) and paste this prompt: Write a search-optimised caption for my dance studio Reel showing behind-the-scenes footage of a teacher setting up for class before students arrive.

So many people are loving the new 30-Day Dance Studio Social Media Content Plan, so I had an idea... Who would be interested in a 30-Day Social Media Content Challenge here in the Dance Marketing Pro community? I would write a daily post with exactly what to post, how to create it, and how to write a caption for it - every day for 30 days. What do you think? ...would this be helpful and what would make it super easy for you to follow through on - an accountability tracker, templates, AI caption prompts - give me all your ideas in the comments to make this as useful as possible for you 👇

I see so many posts in dance studio owner groups at the moment that say: "Numbers are down. Cost of living. People just can't afford it anymore." 😱 And I get it. I really do. But here's the thing - I don't fully buy it. Before you come at me, hear me out. People Find Money For What They Want Think about it for a second... Taylor Swift tickets? Sold out at $300+ a pop. Families are still booking overseas holidays. The PlayStation 5 is sitting under Christmas trees. Parents are happily paying for Netflix, Uber Eats, new iPhones, and $7 coffees every single morning. The money is there. It's being spent - so if money isn't the real issue, what is? ⏰ Time... that's the cost of living pressure nobody is talking about. Time Is The New Currency Your families are busier than they've ever been. Both parents working. Kids juggling school, sport, social commitments. Weekends packed. Everyone is stretched thin - not just financially, but in terms of hours in the day. And here's where this becomes YOUR problem as a studio owner. Every single point of friction you add to the process of joining, enrolling, or attending your classes is essentially adding to your customer's "cost." Not their financial cost - their TIME cost. And time is the one thing they absolutely cannot get more of. ✅ The Studios That Are Growing Right Now? They're Removing Friction. What You Can Do This Week... Stop competing on price. Start competing on ease. Make it so easy to join your studio that the only decision a parent has to make is "yes." Let me know in the comments what you do to reduce the time friction for people to sign up to your dance classes 👇
