Now 66,000 readers, with new subscribers every day!
In a time when print publications are declining, Dance Studio Life continues to buck the trend by consistently growing in both subscribers and advertisers. It has always been Rhee Gold’s philosophy that dance people crave content that is relevent to their lives and their businesses. With that philosophy Dance Studio Life is on top of the dance education field by offering readers articles to guide them in the classroom, sharpen their business skills, help them to attract students, expand their studios’ offerings, answer their questions, and keep them up to date in the field.
Bringing dance educators together is a big part of our mission. When they read a story about how to maintain classroom discipline, or find a great hip-hop teacher, or get the most for their advertising dollar, they share the hands-on experiences of teachers and studio owners across the United States and Canada.
• We live the life
Dance Studio Life magazine is published by Rhee Gold, a leader in the dance education field. He grew up as the child of a dance teacher, owned his own schools, and wrote The Complete Guide to Teaching Dance (now in its second printing). Through his Project Motivate seminars, special appearances, and the DanceLife Teacher Conference, Gold interacts with thousands of dance educators, school owners, dancers, and students every year. In planning the relevant and meaningful content in Dance Studio Life, he knows what readers need and want.
• Always on the cutting edge
Only a few months ago, Rhee Gold launched DanceLifeTV.com as a high-tech companion to Dance Studio Life magazine. With hundreds of thousands of viewers from 52 countries viewing original content created by dance people, for dance people, this new online network has taken the dance field by storm. New channels, special features, and uploads are constantly adding to the opportunities available to its advertisers. Dance Studio Life has just launched a brand new website/blog to reach the worldwide dance community with practical classroom concepts, viable business tips, and inspirational content.
• Customer service that goes above and beyond
When you speak to our ad reps, you won’t get a strong-arm sales pitch. You will receive immediate attention from representatives who focus on great customer service. They are ready to assist you and advise you on the most productive advertising strategy for your particular company, and nothing more. We want what’s best for you—that’s how we’ve built such a loyal band of advertisers.
