The Challenge

  • 1

    Rochester winters brutal for dance studio attendance—November through March brings 35-45% class cancellations, reducing tuition revenue during coldest months

  • 2

    Competition from Rochester Broadway Theatre League and professional companies creates perception that serious training requires NYC connections—local studios struggle for credibility

  • 3

    Suburban spread across Pittsford, Penfield, Webster, Fairport fragments market—city studios need unified brand reaching all suburbs without expensive multi-location overhead

The Solution

  • YouTube monetization delivers $4.8K-$22K/month stable income during winter cancellation season, plus virtual class infrastructure for snow days and remote training

  • Produce 120-250+ dance videos monthly (winter conditioning routines, virtual recital techniques, home practice strategies, online audition prep) maintaining Rochester presence year-round

  • Families across Monroe County searching for flexible dance training find your Rochester channel—converting to hybrid in-person/virtual enrollment models
