Not Your Average Dance School

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 Dance Place’s Communications Director.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Dance Place a one-of-a-kind dance school in Washington, DC. Here’s what the Communications Director had to say:

“Dance Place is extremely unique; this is a place where we are not only running adults and kids classes, but we are giving the community an opportunity to get involved with dance. The classes are extremely affordable, and we have different genres of styles. We have after school clubs and ways for teens to be involved with teaching. Building the dance community is something we want to do.”

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

“We aim to build a community of arts and support the dance ecosystem as it increases through the whole state. The dance community just wants to see more individuals find a passion. Founded in 1980, Dance Place builds a community of artists, audiences and students through high-quality performances, commissions, training and educational programs. We are committed to enriching the field of dance locally, nationally and internationally. Our thriving arts campus serves as an anchor in our Brookland/Edgewood neighborhood in Washington, DC.”

Building Success Through Customer Service

The Communications Director attributes Dance Place’s strong online reputation to their commitment to customer service and providing great relationships within the community. She added:

“We are a local non-profit that has been around for over 40 years.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Dance Place has gotten their name out there by posting videos on social media, sending emails and handing out flyers. It also helps that they have close ties with their neighborhood.

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

“Listen to what your audience is really asking for. Your audience is who your customer might be. How are they finding you? What are their needs? And how can you impact their lives in a positive way?”
