So, you’re a dance studio owner. That means your days are packed with running classes, teaching, planning choreography, managing admin, talking with students (and their parents), and mapping out the year ahead.

With so much on your plate, it’s no surprise that marketing often ends up at the bottom of your priority list. We get it. But here’s the thing—if you want your marketing to really work when you need it most, it has to be nurtured consistently throughout the year.

Think about the end of the dance year or the summer break. Older students move on, others may decide not to return, and suddenly you’ve got space in your classes. Or maybe your studio is expanding—more classes, new locations, additional teachers. These are the moments when strong, consistent marketing helps you fill those spaces with ease.

At first, marketing can feel like an uphill climb. But the more you invest in building, refining, and maintaining your strategy, the more momentum you’ll gain—and the easier it becomes over time.

But how? It all comes down to breaking your marketing into manageable chunks…

Why Consistency Matters

Like with most things, consistency in marketing builds trust — not just with your current and future clients, but also with search engines like Google (and even AI tools like ChatGPT).

When you regularly post content on your social media and website, platforms like Google, Instagram, and Facebook recognize that you’re active. If your content is getting seen, clicked, and engaged with, these platforms are more likely to view you as a trusted source and show your posts to the right audience.

The more consistently you post, the more often Google crawls your website. And the more Google crawls your site, the higher your chances of showing up at the top of search results. A true win-win.

Batch Create Content

One of the easiest ways is to batch-create your content. Instead of scrambling (and sometimes either rushing or not posting anything). 

Instead, set aside one day a month to plan and schedule your posts. A couple of hours with a scheduling tool can give you weeks of content ready to go, which takes the pressure off your daily routine.

Automated Emails

Another time-saver is automating your emails and communications. Parents love updates about classes, recitals, and events — but that doesn’t mean you need to spend time typing and planning a new email every time.

Create a few reusable templates for announcements, reminders, and promotions. With automation, you can schedule emails to go out at the right times without lifting a finger.

You can also do the same as part of what we call a marketing pipline.

Repurpose Your Content

You have some fantastic content at your fingertips, think dance shows, competitions, and even your lessons.

No matter what you have, recital photos, student spotlights, or testimonials, put them to work across platforms. A quick post on Instagram, a feature in your email newsletter, and a blog update on your website can all come from the same piece of content.

Utilise Your Calendar

Lastly, leverage your calendar. Your studio already runs on a rhythm,  recitals, new terms, summer camps, and back-to-school. Tie your marketing to those natural points. 

This makes your promotions feel timely and relevant, while also giving you a built-in roadmap for what to post and when.

What’s Working & What’s Not?

With these top tips in place, it’s important to still take a moment every few months to take a step back from the marketing that you’re doing and check that it is working. 

What to look for: 

  • Has the number of new students/trials slowed down, stayed the same, or improved? 

  • Are you finding that your social posts and emails are getting less engagement? 

  • Are you reaching the right audience — are the people seeing your content the ones most likely to join your studio?

  • Are there areas in your marketing that you’re missing? Ie, you’re doing lots on organic socials but not much on paid socials?

Taking this regular pause helps you spot what’s working, what needs tweaking, and where you might need to adjust your strategy — so your marketing keeps delivering results without wasting your time.
