• An Ode to the Frazzled Dance Instructor

    Spring recitals are in full swing and as a former dance studio instructor, I know how hectic it can be preparing, organizing and coping with recital season.

    So, this post goes out to you frazzled dance studio instructors!

    At my old studio, we had over 900 dancers, 700 of whom would participate in the recital, with a large number of those dancing in multiple numbers. You know how it goes… soloists, duets, trios, small groups, large groups, production…. Now multiply that by the different categories!

    That meant hundreds, if not thousands, of costumes to organize – a daunting task at best. Which is why I really am here to help.

    Your Lifeline
    First, I offer you a “lifeline” in the form of our collections. We have two collections to help you overworked dance studio instructors – our Basics Collection covers all your essential staple items and our Dance Team Collection features specialty prints, tops, bottoms & dresses to make your design process simple.

    Phone-a-Friend
    Next, I offer the “phone-a-friend” option… Whether it’s me, one of my colleagues here at MotionWear or one of our local MotionWear retail partners, you CAN call us! We will help you locate that hard to find design, offer advice on collecting and organizing order information from parents, even rush deliver critical dancewear pieces you may have forgotten, or items other companies promised and can’t deliver.

    So, take courage… you’ve almost made it! Soon, the glorious memories of another successful recital season will wash over you as every child, parent, grandparent, etc. will have great memories and, I’m sure, at least one video to watch at every family get together until they do it all over again next year.
