Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I’ve been with this studio for many, many years and am now in my mid-70s. Despite my old age, I am still held to a high standard, a true sign of respect. The instruction is consistently high level and inspiring. This is a great studio for students of all ages.” – Barbara F.

Not Your Average Dance Studio

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Courtney, Marketing Coordinator at Cleveland City Dance.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Cleveland City Dance a one-of-a-kind dance studio in Ohio. Courtney told us that they work with clients regardless of the pace at which they learn and that they openly communicate with their students to help them understand the process. They give their students that extra bit of personal attention that they need.

She went on to say:

“We’re a performing company that allows dancers to dance, and we put on a performance of The Nutcracker every year.”

We also asked Courtney what their mission is at Cleveland City Dance and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“[Our mission is to] nurture students’ passion and talent, build confidence and disciple their minds for school work or other aspects of their lives. Some students have gone on to become professional dancers.”

Building Success by Taking Ownership of Their Online Reputation

Courtney attributes Cleveland City Dance’s strong online reputation to their commitment to taking ownership of their online presence by regularly checking for updates, keeping an eye on their website and utilizing their students’ help with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Cleveland City Dance has gotten their name out there through Google ads, newspaper ads, by putting on festivals, open house performances and free performances throughout the year, and by dancing in schools.

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Cleveland City Dance has. When we asked Courtney what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“Start things along the way and build slowly [on social media.] Know the audience and where they are in the social media world.”


Congratulations to the team at Cleveland City Dance for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Courtney, for taking the time to speak with us!
