An open class can be more than just a place for dancers to drop in and take class. It can also be a powerful opportunity for teachers to build their reputation, showcase their teaching style, and forge connections that can grow into a loyal following. So what is it that makes students want to come back?
Join our next DT+ Teacher Talk, “Turning Open Classes Into Full Classes,” with Felipe Galganni, via Zoom on Thursday, November 19, at 12 pm EST, to explore strategies for attracting new dancers, marketing open classes effectively, and creating a memorable class experience. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions in real time.
