Welcome back to another No Starving Artists Special
This is a guided conversation between Jason Pickett and Suzanne Citere exploring how teachers can ethically and effectively leave a studio and start something new. Opening a dance studio is an incredible business venture, but taking that leap can feel intimidating and uncertain.
In this conversation, we discuss how to navigate the transition, the conversations that matter most, and best practices for setting yourself up for long-term success.
With more than 40 years of experience, Suzanne shares valuable insight on building a studio from the ground up, handling difficult conversations with professionalism, and getting clear on what you want your program to look like.
Come in with an open mind and leave with perspective, actionable advice, and inspiration.
