I usually respond this way. Our job here is got provide the best arts and learning through the arts education on the planet. We are not expert at settling marital disputes and we would prefer not to be put in the middle. As well we would prefer to remain a neutral and safe place for your child(rent) so that they can trust us in education and the arts, as well as know they have the freedom to be themselves with us. We also believe that parents are a partnership in the education process and in that they are Carie givers for their children, a timely response to the school queries is important to remain here. We note that it is all about the welfare of the child whom needs us and not about disagreements between adults, who are in charge of their own care and actions as well as responsible for their child(ren). If thirty cannot do this, then they are asked to leave. Non have left yet and most have grown yup some.

From a former media person, clearly define your customer before choosing many of the above. More money is wasted on eternal blast outs in various media, missing the client you want to already have. Take time to define them....then make your media sales people prove they can reach them for you. A seemingly trendy media format, may sound cool, but miss your target. Example. Facebook now for older demo, not youth or young adults any longer.

Under promise and over deliver. Tell the truth up front. If you can't do it, say so and refer elsewhere. To us, customer service is about honesty. Sometimes honesty loses customer, but if you are just selling them and not being truth, you'll lose them anyway.

Take your dancers to events to perform or display. Parades, festivals, trade shows etc. Also social media like dance videos on Youtube, facebook, etc. Hold a bottle drive door to door but the previous week put door hangers asking for bottles/cans to be left in the driveway. Raises money for uniforms etc. and raises awareness because each door hanger has info and a registration card area.
Who your client is. Pick a limited focus and serve that demographic well. Don't worry about or try to serve other demos. It just waters down your product and service. Train good dancers.....that's it.
