The instructors are all so positive and uplifting. So glad I found this place!” – Laura H.

Not Your Average Dance Studio

We took a few minutes to sit down with Steven Oelrich, the owner of The Studio in Issaquah, to learn a little more about the business and how they managed to build such an incredible online reputation.

The first thing we asked Steven was what sets The Studio of Issaquah apart from the many other dance studios in Washington. Steven points to the fact that they are the only adults-only dance studio.

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at The Studio of Issaquah and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Steven had to say:

“Adults need a place to learn to dance that is safe and supportive. We wanted to provide a place where people were surrounded with peers who wanted to learn to dance — somewhere they would feel safe and feel support.”

Building Success Through Outstanding Customer Service

Steven credits The Studio’s strong online reputation to their commitment to providing quality customer service:

“We take a lot of pride in being responsive to all of the calls and emails we receive to make sure we take care of our customers.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, The Studio of Issaquah has grown by utilizing social media, Google, Yelp and other platforms, as well as through word of mouth from past customers.

Clearly, Steven understands how to grow a business and build and online reputation. Here’s his advice for the many other business owners out there working to do the same thing:

“Have a consistent message across all of your advertising so that the customer’s expectations are set before they even reach out.”


Congratulations to the team at The Studio of Issaquah for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Steven, for taking the time to speak with us!
