I own a dance studio in a more rural area- my studio is doing well, it is basically about the same revenue as last year because of inflation. I run an after school dance program Monday-Friday 3:30-8 ish. And occasionally have events or rehearsals on the weekend.
So my building sits empty for many hours during the week- anyone have any original ideas for how to make more revenue during the daytime hours, especially ones that I could pay an employee to operate? I feel I am at capacity as the director between admin work, teaching, choreography and maintenance. Even making $20/hr off the space would be awesome.
I would hire a Zumba/Yoga/Pilates instructor let’s say $50 for the hour. And charge 8-10$ per class that’s $80-100.
Senior meet up, Weekly bingo&tea for example
Mommy and me mornings
Language learning, teach English to foreigners or Spanish etc
There’s many ideas, you could ask chatgpt too! I really like the first one since it’s a dance studio anyway 🤷♀️
