Dance studios are known for creating comfortable, safe environments where dancers can experiment with self-expression. However, many of us feel unprepared to support students as they come into their identities as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Samm Wesler is no stranger to leading diversity and inclusion training. As a gay woman who grew up in studios, she knows firsthand how language can shape the development of LGBTQIA+ adolescents. In the podcast, Samm shares how to lead a diversity and inclusion training in your dance studio and walks you through solid strategies to help you feel more comfortable and prepared when speaking about these topics with your team. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Running a dance studio is hard work, and growing your studio is even more of a challenge. No matter if you're just starting out—or perhaps you're a well-established owner; we understand that it's a uniquely demanding and personal business to own and operate. As studio owners ourselves, we've been there. But, it's also very possible to be a happy owner of a thriving dance business that you love.
