As we enter the busy holiday season, it's natural for new student enrollments to slow down this time of year. But don’t worry—January is just around the corner, and we have exciting promotions planned to welcome new friends into our Twinkle Babies and Twinkle Stars classes at the start of the new year.
For now, November and December offer the perfect opportunity to shift our focus inward, nurturing our current studio community and engaging with the dancers and families already enrolled.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing fun programming ideas to keep your dancers excited and your studio thriving through the holidays.
One simple yet effective idea is to incorporate themed props into your classes!
For example, our Twinkle Star Dance classes love using autumn-colored scarves for a choreographed ballet center stretch to “Colors of the Wind.” It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the season.
This November, we’ve added a dance to “Country Freeze Dance” in all our classes, building up to a special Family Hoedown during Parent Observation Week. Parents will be invited to join the fun and create lasting memories with their dancers.
In December, jingle bells take center stage! Our Twinkle Babies adore dancing to “Jingle Bells Opposites,” and they love the sound of the jingling bells as they move. Another favorite prop is the star wand—our Twinkle Stars use them to dance to “Twinkle, Twinkle Christmas Star,” adding extra magic to their holiday-themed classes.
