130. Welcome Nikita & Balanced Ballerinas MINI + 3 Content Tips for Teachers!
🎙️ New BB MINI Podcast Episode! 🩰
Balanced Ballerinas is entering a new era and I’m not doing it alone!
In this episode, we introduce the heart and soul of our tiny tots pilot program and social media expert, my sister in-law, the fabulous Nikita.
Nikita began her journey with us by starting adult classes and has since excelled in creating our early childhood dance programs and social media strategy.
She’s developed an amazing way of teaching little ones and has been a cornerstone in creating our new Balanced Ballerinas MINI program - soon to be available to teachers worldwide. Stay tuned!
In a nutshell, I’m so excited to be collaborating with Nikita in developing the future of Balanced Ballerinas - a brand that will continue servicing the students who are often afterthoughts within the industry, bringing them the attention they deserve, whilst giving dance studio owners and ballet teachers the tools to do so.
Dance studio owners and teachers are not going to want to miss this one because being the queen of socials, Nikita leaves you with 3 tips for social media you can action today…
