“How lucky am I to find this magical dance studio and ballroom right here in Albuquerque? So much more than just instruction, this is one of those places you daydream about! Gorgeous facility, ambience galore, and a friendly intimate atmosphere. Having wanted to learn social dance forever but nervous that I missed my window of opportunity when I was in high school, Holiday Dance Studio is exactly what I had hoped and more. Instructors are friendly, patient and helpful. Fellow students are nice. Holiday also hosts local bands and dance parties! So excited about this place; it’s a step back in time to when people socialized and danced together, so happy to find it. Wonderful owners with a passion for what they do.” -Chrystal M.
A One-of-a-Kind Dance Studio’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation
We spoke with Joey Hudson, the co-owner and co-director of Holiday Dance Studio, took a moment to speak with us regarding this exemplary dance studio’s online reputation.
If you ask Joey, the difference between Holiday Dance Studio and other dance studios in the area is more than just the classes themselves — it’s the atmosphere the Holiday Dance Studio team creates. He said, “We operate like a family store, we make sure everyone feels welcome when they walk in the door, nobody comes in unnoticed, we give lots of hugs! We like our customers and we make sure to let them know. We work hard to make it an inviting environment. We aren’t pretentious! We keep everything very easygoing.”
While speaking with Joey, it became abundantly clear that the secret to his studio’s success has a lot to do with their ability to differentiate themselves from other dance studios in the area.“Our model with our staff is that we have to be different. If you walk into our studio, you aren’t going to see the typical environment. We are not geared toward competition, instead, we focus on the social aspect of dance. We know there are plenty of people out that want to learn to dance for that reason. We want to create a place you want to BE when you’re dancing, not a place where you learn to beat everyone in a dance competition.”
Making the World a Better Place By Fostering A Love Of Dance
Joey, as well as the rest of the team at Holiday Dance Studio, focuses on creating an environment in which their students can feel free to enjoy dance. “Our mission statement is ‘come celebrate with us through dance.’ We want to make dancing accessible to anyone at anytime,” he said.
Here’s Joey’s advice to other businesses that are working on their online reputation:
“Don’t worry so much about what everyone else is doing. Don’t be afraid to be different. Business can be extremely rewarding and a lot of fun.”
Congratulations to the team at Holiday Dance Studio for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner!
