Not Your Average Dance School

We were excited to learn all about how Headline Dance Center has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with the owner and Studio Director, Enrico Rodriguez.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Headline Dance Center stand apart from their local competitors. We learned that, starting with Enrico, this studio is rooted in excellence. Enrico himself is known in the dance world, and brings a wealth of experience and passion to his studio.

Headline Dance Studio is also dedicated to their anti-bullying policy. This important piece of the studio’s culture is showcased in the investment it puts into its dancers. Enrico shares:

“We are big on inclusion — every kid gets highlighted in some way.”

When we began to talk about the mission of Headline Dance Center, the theme of personal development continued. Enrico seems as invested in the growth of his students as people as he is in their growth as dancers. He described their mission as:

“Our mission is to create beautifully technical dancers. We want to create people who are kind and accepting. If we can have kids leave the studio as better people, we have done our job.”

Building Success With A Strong Brand

Headline Dance Center has created an impressive online reputation, so we were excited to learn more about some of the ways this studio has been marketed over the years.

Enrico told us that, from the start, he invested time in their branding. Their colorful public image continues to help them to get noticed, even today. They have utilized sponsored ads and are sure to keep their community updated via social media. He continued to tell us that, offline, Headline Dance Studio has hosted a pop-up shop in the mall and has done open houses.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Headline Dance Center has managed to. We asked if Enrico could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Definitely make a budget to sponsor ads. Find your specific target market. Our colorful branding helped us stand out, so find a brand that works well with you!”

Enrico ended our chat with this touching statement:

“I could not ask for a better dance family. I am so happy with where we are.”


Congratulations to Headline Dance Center for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Enrico for taking the time to speak with us!
