		<description><![CDATA[Teaching dance is my passion. And though I don’t yearn to run a studio of my own, I enjoyed the article about teaching contracts in the August 2009 issue (“Once an Employee, Now a Rival”). I can appreciate the fact that studio owners need to protect themselves. But despite all the articles about studio owners whose staff have left and taken students with them, not all teachers have the drive to become business owners or the desire to use their employers’ information to establish their own enterprise.

		<description><![CDATA[What’s worse than losing a student to a rival studio? How about when a student or teacher from your studio not only leaves but starts a studio of her own? Already a challenging business, studio ownership can turn into an emotional rollercoaster when clashes arise between you and your employees, students, or students’ parents, and a split is the result. Three studio owners who survived such challenges talk about lessons learned and how they coped when trusted teachers or longtime students (sometimes both) suddenly transformed into rivals.]]></description>
